16 
Common Misunderstandings About Lean 
•Misunderstanding 
–Lean is qualitative; Six Sigma is quantitative (data driven). 
•Fact 
–Lean is heavily based on fact-based decision making, but aims to avoid the common trap of analysis paralysis. (Has a bias to action, followed by iterative improvement cycles.)
