Lean Six Sigma
What is Lean Six Sigma?
Lean Six Sigma is a combination of the two methods Lean and Six Sigma, which together provide a structured and data-driven approach to problem-solving.
Although Lean and Six Sigma essentially have two different approaches to problem-solving, both methods fundamentally have the same goal. They both focus on creating value for the customer, and achieving high quality and efficiency in business processes.
Lean primarily focuses on reducing lead times and achieving better flow by eliminating waste and non-value-adding elements in all business processes.
Six Sigma focuses on quality and works with data, statistics, and measurements to analyse problems and identify the underlying causes of variations in quality.
This makes Six Sigma particularly useful when organisations experience recurring problems with variations in quality, which cannot be immediately explained. By delving into the processes, you can find the underlying causes and thereby remove the root of the problems. In this way, a lasting improvement in quality is achieved, which also means increased value for the customer.
Lean Six Sigma definition:
“Lean Six Sigma focuses on creating value for the customer, achieving the highest quality, and implementing the most efficient processes for the company.”

Why use Lean Six Sigma?
The Lean Six Sigma method is typically used to identify and solve problems in a company’s processes by focusing on reducing variation and improving quality. It can also be used to reduce costs, increase efficiency and improve customer satisfaction.
Some of the benefits that can be achieved by using Lean Six Sigma include:
- Reduction of errors and defective products: The method helps identify the causes of errors and eliminate them, resulting in fewer errors and defective products.
- Increased productivity and efficiency: By reducing waste and variation, the processes can be optimised, which can lead to improved productivity and efficiency.
- Reduction of costs: The method can help identify areas where money can be saved and reduce unnecessary costs.
- Improvement of customer satisfaction: By reducing errors and improving the quality of production processes, customer satisfaction can also be increased.
