Both lean and Six Sigma are needed to lead your organization forward and compete in today's markets.
Lean manufacturing and Six Sigma have both been trumpeted as potential saviors of U.S. industry. Each has its share of documented successes, but many companies seem to struggle with which approach is best. In my view, neither lean nor Six Sigma alone is an adequate umbrella under which to lead your organization forward; both lean and Six Sigma are needed to compete in today's markets.
