CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

Lean Sigma Overview

Learn How Lean & Six Sigma Can Work Together.

Missouri Enterprise offers a classroom session that presents overviews of Lean Manufacturing Basics 和 Six Sigma principles 和 how they can be effective tools to help your company proactively promote Continuous Improvement in your manufacturing facility. Both are highly effective systems, but they differ in their approaches.

Six Sigma vs. Lean Manufacturing.

Six Sigma is data driven 和 typically focused on variations to processes while Lean focuses on throughput of processes. One way to look at it is that Lean is a mile wide 和 an inch deep, Six Sigma is a mile deep 和 an inch wide. Lean looks at things holistically 和 Six Sigma dives deep into specific operational issues. Although they are not often used together, there is a powerful argument that the two systems are indeed compatible 和 can broaden your company’s approach to Continuous Improvement.
