Six Sigma Lean Manufacturing
Lean is often seen as an efficiency approach which focuses on improving flow in the value stream and eliminating waste. It is more than this. Lean is a philosophy, not simply an exercise in eliminating waste. Lean is much more than episodic Kaizen (rapid improvement) events, it is a continuous improvement approach. It asks the question, “Why does this process exist at all? What are the value and the value stream?
Six Sigma, by contrast, is often considered an effectiveness approach which focuses on the elimination of defects and reducing variation. It is seen as working best in an environment where there is variation. Six Sigma starts with “How can we improve this process?” It does not ask “Why does it exist at all? Six Sigma is not just statistics, in its best incarnation; one integrates experience, historical, prospective, and data to make decisions.
