Six Sigma Training & Certification FAQ’s

Six Sigma is a data-driven methodology widely used in business for process improvement and quality management. It aims to reduce defects and variations in processes to achieve near-perfect results. The approach involves defining, measuring, analyzing, improving, and controlling processes to enhance efficiency and customer satisfaction.

Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma are both methodologies aimed at improving processes and reducing defects, but there are some key differences:

  • Six Sigma primarily focuses on reducing variation and defects in processes. It emphasizes statistical tools and techniques to achieve process improvement. In contrast, Lean Six Sigma integrates the principles of Six Sigma with Lean. In addition to reducing variation, Lean focuses on eliminating waste, improving flow, and enhancing overall process efficiency.
  • Six Sigma relies heavily on statistical tools such as control charts, process capability analysis, and design of experiments. In contrast, Lean Six Sigma utilizes a broader range of tools, including those from Six Sigma and additional Lean tools.
