Lean Six Sigma: Successfully Integrating Lean and Six Sigma Improvement Initiatives
Overview Two of the most popular buzz-words in business today are lean and six sigma. There is a great deal of confusion and misunderstanding about the benefits, content, limitations, overlaps and unique characteristics of these two approaches. The primary thrust of lean is to reduce waste. Essentially, lean creates a manufacturing revolution through the cumulative effects of many, many small improvements. Originally, the primary emphasis of six sigma was heavy on process measurement, analysis and improvement using Statistical Process Control (SPC) methods, design of experiments (DOE, Shainin, etc.) and general problem-solving tools. This white paper provides some guidance through the hype and zealot-infested lean/six sigma marshes of the business jargon jungle. You will need to register at the host site to download this paper.
