Lean Six Sigma (LSS) evolved from quality initiatives, such as ISO and Baldrige, a quality standardization process based on hard data. The term Six Sigma originated from / in manufacturing and was developed by Motorola as a quality initiative in the 1980s, for which Motorola won the Malcolm Baldridge National Quality Award. Lean Six Sigma blends the methodology of Six Sigma with the principals of Lean Manufacturing to provide a comprehensive approach to improve process and business performance.

After gaining popularity for delivering benefits in the manufacturing industry, LSS has revolutionized service industry performance in the past 4 decades since its inception and the practice continues to evolve.

The DMAIC model provides a common language for Six Sigma projects. DMAIC stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control.

Define – the problem to solve

Measure – the current performance

Analyze – the relationships to identify factors that influence performance.

Improve – by identifying the best fit solution to optimize key factors

Control – Make the change last

Lean Six Sigma is a quantitative and qualitative approach that seeks to eliminate waste and reduce variation in a business process. The methodology uses several statistical (data) and lean (process) tools and techniques for Process improvement, Process design/re-design and Process management.

The impact can be both Quantitative and Qualitative and varies based on the scale of and scope of the project. Financial impact can translate into cost savings, cost avoidance, and increased capability
