Lean Six Sigma is an internationally recognized continual improvement methodology that combines the principles of Lean Management with the analytical techniques of Six Sigma to improve efficiency, quality and overall business performance.

The methodology focuses on reducing process variation, minimizing defects, eliminating non-value-added activities and creating stable, efficient business processes.

Lean Six Sigma can be applied to processes, services and organizational systems, supporting improvements in quality, productivity, resource utilization and customer experience.

In practice, Lean Six Sigma projects are typically implemented using the DMAIC (Define – Measure – Analyze – Improve – Control) methodology, which provides a structured framework for analyzing, improving and controlling business processes.

Notes:

• Lean Six Sigma is widely used across organizations of all sizes and industries as a methodology for operational excellence and continual improvement.
• Depending on the organization, implementation may be supported by different certification levels, including White Belt, Yellow Belt, Green Belt, Black Belt and Master Black Belt.
• The methodology combines waste reduction (Lean) with variation and defect reduction (Six Sigma), creating an integrated approach to business process improvement.
