Originally developed by Motorola in 1986, Six Sigma is a business process management strategy that seeks to improve the quality of process outputs by identifying and removing the causes of defects and reducing process variability.
The strategy utilises a set of quality management, process improvement, and problem-solving methods, including statistical methods, and creates an infrastructure of people within the organisation (Black Belts and Green Belts) who are experts in these methods. Each Six Sigma project follows a defined sequence of steps and has quantified financial targets, such as reducing cost or increasing profit.
Lean Six Sigma is the Six Sigma business management strategy combined with Lean – a methodology based on two principles: continuous improvement and respect for people. To work effectively within an environment that utilises Lean Six Sigma, you’ll benefit from building your skills through Lean Six Sigma training.
