Course Overview
Lean Six Sigma is an industry-neutral discipline and can be applied to different sectors. Some of the
examples are IT, Manufacturing, Healthcare, Defense, Radio and Telecommunications, and Banking

and Finance. Lean methodology focuses on value creation for customers with minimum processes and
reduced wastes.

Six Sigma is a highly disciplined management tool with a statistical, analytical, and data-driven
approach.

It focuses on developing a process, eliminating the defects, and consequently delivering quality

products and services consistently.

Lean Six Sigma brings together the best of both, the world of Lean's waste elimination projects and
the Six Sigma based process improvements, reducing variation, and improving quality.
