How it is that Six Sigma and Lean are complementary?

Six Sigma

• Emphasizes the need to recognize opportunities and eliminate defects as defined by customers
• Recognizes that variation hinders our ability to reliably deliver high quality services
• Requires data driven decisions and incorporates a comprehensive set of quality tools under a powerful framework for effective problem solving
• Provides a highly prescriptive cultural infrastructure effective in obtaining sustainable results

Lean

• Focuses on maximizing process velocity
• Provides tools for analyzing process flow and delay times at each activity in a process
• Centers on the separation of "value-added" from "non-value-added" work with tools to eliminate the root causes of non-valued activities and their cost
• The 8 types of waste / non-value added work
  Wasted human talent – Damage to people
  Defects – "Stuff" that’s not right & needs fixing
  Inventory - "Stuff" waiting to be worked
  Overproduction – "Stuff" too much/too early
  Waiting Time – People waiting for "Stuff" to arrive
  Motion – Unnecessary human movement
  Transportation – Moving people & "Stuff"
