So what is Lean Six Sigma?
As stated above Lean and Six Sigma when used together will provide a business improvement methodology which combines tools from both Lean Enterprise (Manufacturing) and Six Sigma. Lean eliminates the waste in your processes, while Six Sigma ensures quality through the elimination of variation in your processes and also provides a structured data driven structure to solve problems and implement sustainable change into your business.

Why is there even a debate about which one you should use?
For some reason two camps have emerged one supporting Lean and the other Six Sigma. Lots of it is childish my way is better than yours and some of is lack of knowledge. Either way what you find is that both approaches use each others tools any way. So the whole thing is stupid. As with any business improvement you should use the best tool for the job no matter what it is or where it has come from. You should be constantly seeking out new tools, methods, applications and methodologies to satisfy your customer and business needs by eliminating waste and improving quality. That is why we always train, consult and coach in Lean Six Sigma but bring in anything else we know. That is why we don’t mind you calling your improvement initiate what ever you like and that is why we get results.
