“Lean Six Sigma” Why it’s important in Business!

Lean Six Sigma provides various benefits for organizations. It not only saves money, but also changes the attitude of employees and the functionality of the organization.

• Value to Customer: Lean Six Sigma allows companies to improve their processes and the quality of their products. In turn, they are able to produce more products at a cheaper price with less error. Customer satisfaction will increase, which will then lead to an increase in customer loyalty.

 First, both Lean and Six Sigma stress the fact that the customer defines the value of a product or service.

This means that when processes are examined, the importance or necessity of steps in the process should be examined through the eyes of the customer.

From Six Sigma, companies benefit from the reduced variation on parts.

Also, Lean saves money for the company by focusing on the types of waste and how to reduce waste.

The two processes come together into Lean Six Sigma, creating a well balanced and organized solution to save money and produce better products.^{[9][page needed]}
