What is Lean Six Sigma?
Lean Six Sigma is a set of proven, time-tested tools that have helped companies navigate, survive and succeed, even through periods of market uncertainty.
Very generally, Lean focuses on ways to reduce waste in workflows, while Six Sigma refines processes to be more efficient. Together, Lean Six Sigma is used to solve complicated organizational problems as well as guide continuous improvement.
This means a business can reduce waste and in turn reduce their product’s cost to consumers. It means that a healthcare organization can spot dangerous time delays and improve care for their patients. It means a nonprofit can better direct their resources to help more of their communities.
Top companies like Amazon, Boeing, Nike, Oracle and Starbucks; organizations such as Kitchens for Good and the San Diego Humane Society; and agencies such as NASA and the EPA, use LSS processes because they work — and they are adaptable to nearly every industry.
