What is Lean Six Sigma?
​Lean is a set of tools to identify and eliminate non-essential and non-value added steps in the business process in order to streamline production, improve quality and gain customer loyalty.
​Six Sigma is a statistical measure of the performance of a process or a product. The central idea is that if you can measure how many defects you have in a process, you can systematically figure out how to eliminate them and get as close to zero defects as possible. It is a system of management to achieve lasting business leadership and world-class results.
