While Six Sigma focuses on eliminating the variation in processes Lean aims to speed up the processes. Lean Six Sigma is a combination of these two approaches and their common result. Lean concept is based on Lean Manufacturing approach which is included in TPS (Toyota Production Systems) of Toyota Company. Slow processes are costly processes. Slow running of the processes results in stocks being used up slowly, manufacturing lines being at a higher capacity then required and more human resources being needed. All these undesired costs and activities are called Hidden Factory.

In a sample production process the materials sit waiting 95% of the time from procurement to delivery to the customer and only 5% under any process. Decreasing the waiting time by 80% will decrease the production and quality general expenditures by 20%. Even if we assume that this improvement does not have any other positive side effects, company’s profitability will increase drastically.

Lean Six Sigma is a system which focuses on increasing the profitability by eliminating the processes that do not create any added value and that are not critical for the customer, as a result decreasing the resource and personnel waste.
