Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma


Six Sigma analysis is a structured approach to business management that concentrates on improving quality by reducing process variability and eliminating major failure mechanisms. Since it relies heavily on the collection and analysis of data, statistical programs such as Statgraphics are a vital component of all serious Six Sigma implementations. Our Lean Six Sigma analytical tools add important concepts from lean manufacturing, which concentrates on the elimination of unnecessary resource utilization.
