Running an organization is simple. Running an organization that is effective, efficient and has little waste is another story. At the core of every organization, what defines how it operates on a day-to-day basis, is its philosophy and strategy. Not to be overlooked, the theories and strategies deployed by management and reinforced by those who execute the organization's mission ultimately define its success. Process improvement, quality control, and customer satisfaction can simultaneously be managed and improved upon with the implementation of lean Six Sigma. Data-driven and rooted in analytics, the techniques and principles of Lean Six Sigma have been around since the early 1920s. An integration of the Lean production philosophy and process improvement techniques of Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma combines two leading initiatives in order to take an organization to the next level.
