Six Sigma is a management approach meant to improve the quality of products or services by eliminating the variation that causes defects and errors. Six Sigma aims for processes where outputs are 99.9997% statistically free from defects. Lean involves continuous efforts to eliminate or reduce waste or any activity that doesn't add value, while empowering employees to uncover and solve problems. Lean Six Sigma is a relatively new paradigm providing a broader selection of approaches to process improvement than either Six Sigma or Lean separately.
