2. Lean
Six
Sigma:
— “Lean” means “without waste”
— The term Six Sigma originated from terminology associated with manufacturing,
specifically terms associated with statistical modeling of manufacturing processes.
The maturity of a manufacturing process can be described by a sigma rating indicating
its yield or the percentage of defect-free products it creates. A six sigma process is
one in which 99.99966% of the products manufactured are statistically expected to be
free of defects (3.4 defective parts/million), although this defect level corresponds to
only a 4.5 sigma level. Motorola set a goal of "six sigma" for all of its manufacturing
operations, and this goal became a by-word for the management and engineering
practices used to achieve it.
— Six Sigma is a set of techniques and tools for process improvement. It was developed
by Motorola in 1986. Jack Welch made it central to his business strategy at General
Electric in 1995. Today, it is used in many industrial sectors.
— “Lean Six Sigma” means “Elimination of wastages from entire Business model by
using six sigma methodology.”

4. Lean:
Lean is a process management philosophy derived mostly from the Toyota Production System (TPS). It
is a powerful method that allows organizations to improve the productivity, efficiency, and quality of their
products or services. Companies today, from a wide range of industries, government agencies and
other areas are finding ways to apply the principles of lean as a means of producing goods and
delivering services that creates value for the customer with the minimum amount of waste and the
highest level of quality.
Lean manufacturing, Lean Enterprise, or lean production, often simply, "lean", considers the expenditure
of resources in any aspect other than the direct creation of value for the end customer to be wasteful,
and thus a target for elimination. Working from the perspective of the client who consumes a product or
service, "value" is any action or process that a customer would be willing to pay for.
For many, lean is the set of "tools" that assist in the identification and steady elimination of waste
(muda). As waste is eliminated quality improves while production time and cost are reduced. A non
exhaustive list of such tools would include: SMED, Value Stream Mapping, Five S, Kanban (pull
systems), poka-yoke (error-proofing), Total Productive Maintenance, elimination of time batching, mixed
model processing, Rank Order Clustering, single point scheduling, redesigning working cells, multi-
process handling and control charts (for checking mura).
