There have been debates when it comes to Lean<\/a> and Six Sigma, in the business world. Most individuals have solid views about which method is more functional for removing waste and cutting costs. Six Sigma is a set of methods that attempt to greatly decrease the rate of defects, while Lean manufacturing is an organized way of eradicating waste and making a flow in the production process.<\/p>\n

Basically, Six Sigma vs Lean systems have similar aim. These methods both strive to eradicate waste and make the most effective system possible, but they both take different tactics toward attaining this target..<\/p>\n

Lean Manufacturing<\/h2>\n

Lean manufacturing has been in use for a long time, the ideas behind it were firstly introduced by Henry Ford who liked to have the production standards extremely high so that every step flowed naturally into the next, hence resulting in little waste.<\/p>\n

The Lean system categorizes seven areas of waste that are often common in production systems<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Overproduction<\/li>\n
  2. Waiting<\/li>\n
  3. Transport<\/li>\n
  4. Motion<\/li>\n
  5. Over-processing<\/li>\n
  6. Inventory<\/li>\n
  7. Defects<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The Implementation of Lean will make staff move materials as little as possible to eliminate the waste of motion. It also deals with quality matters during the course of manufacturing, which saves both resources and time because staffs aren\u2019t scrambling to fix errors later.<\/p>\n

    Six Sigma<\/h2>\n

    Six Sigma was introduced by Bill Smith, an engineer for Motorola in the 1980\u2019s. Bill believed that by eliminating variation one can improve the experience of customers and increase your total savings.<\/p>\n

    Six Sigma seeks to decrease waste and it describes a defect as anything which doesn\u2019t meet the expectations of the customer. It places emphases more on eradicating any variation in the process to lower the amount of defects.<\/p>\n

    Six Sigma has assisted Motorola saving millions of dollars in cost. Many other companies like, Toshiba, General Electric, Intel, and Bank of America have all adopted Six Sigma principles after observing Motorola\u2019s success and has seen dramatic improvements as well.<\/p>\n

    One major difference between the Lean system and Six Sigma is the fact that each method implements way of process development but with a different process. Six Sigma does this mainly by using DMAIC which stands for<\/p>\n
