What is the Difference Between Lean & Six Sigma?

Here at Six Sigma Global Institute (SSGI) many people often ask us, what is the difference between Lean and Six Sigma? In this video, Professor Barry Shore from the University of New Hampshire will explain the difference between both concepts and how they work with one another to provide value to organizations. In general, Lean focuses on efficiency while Six Sigma focuses on quality. When used together, Lean Six Sigma can serve as a powerful tool for transforming an organization.

I loved your examples that made understanding the differences between Lean and SS so easy to relate to and understand. Thank you for making this video.

Excellent video because of the logical format and hand-colored drawings. I would like to hear more about closed-loop systems and other aspects of conservation and how the efficiency (lean) and quality (six sigma) processes can support these ideas.
