Many have heard the term Six Sigma. Yet many are not exactly sure what it means. In some organizations, Six Sigma is merely used as a term to indicate the measure of quality with the ultimate goal of perfection. Six Sigma is actually defined as “a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects (driving toward six standard deviations between the mean and the nearest specification limit) in any process.” This quality improvement process can be applied in almost any type of organization and has been used in manufacturing, professional, and service industries.
“Lean Six Sigma” is a tool used by businesses to streamline their manufacturing and production processes. The primary goal of Lean Six Sigma is to eliminate unnecessary and wasteful steps in a process to ensure that only the steps that directly add value to the product are considered. In the Lean methodology, to determine the value of a step or component is to think about whether a customer would be willing to pay for it. Anything in the process that fails to add value is to be removed. This will result in an extremely streamlined and profitable process that will flow smoothly and efficiently.
Although Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma strive for the same objective, they have separate approaches as to how to achieve this goal. Simply put, they determine the root cause of waste in different ways. Lean says that waste is derived from unneeded steps in the process that do not add value, while Six Sigma proposes that waste is the result of variations within the process.
