Abstract:

‘Lean Six Sigma’ is gaining popularity among industries as a faster quality improvement initiative in lieu of the traditional approaches. The combination of lean tools with the six sigma technique is considered better because of six sigma improvement results attainable without demanding more resources. However the steps involved or the procedure is still not standardized or commonly agreed upon by the practitioners. This paper provides a systematic approach to ‘lean six sigma’ clearly differentiating it from the conventional ‘six sigma’. The paper illustrates the concepts of ‘lean six sigma’ and also improves the scope with the ‘double lean’ approach illustrating the applications.
