Integrating lean and Six Sigma. Lean and Six Sigma have the same general purpose of providing the customer with the best possible quality, cost, delivery, and a newer attribute, nimbleness. There is a great deal of overlap, and disciples of both disagree as to which techniques belong where.
We have seen banks use Lean Six Sigma to support their growth strategy; financial services companies to put mergers back on track; energy companies to lower costs; telecommunications companies to improve customer service; and retailers to increase efficiency while boosting customer service in the store.
