How is Six Sigma different from Lean Six Sigma?

Lean and Six Sigma are two very important methodologies which should be studied independently to truly appreciate their power to transform organizations.

Research into Lean Six Sigma reveals it is much more about Six Sigma and tends to have very little about the rich features of a Lean Transformation. Lean Six Sigma will often treat Lean as a collection of tools, you can sometime use when you work on a Six Sigma project. Lean Transformations are much more than a collection of tools and you will not learn much about Lean in a Lean Six Sigma class.

You can learn more at What is Lean Six Sigma?

Can a Six Sigma certification be integrated with other management systems?

Yes. Six Sigma certifications can easily fit into other management systems.

Its structured methodology builds strong skills in any organization looking to improve products, services, and processes by reducing variation. It is a great compliment to other management systems focused on driving business results.
