How can Lean Six Sigma contribute to Continuous Improvement?

In the last few years, the Lean and the Six Sigma philosophies have merged to Lean Six Sigma as a holistic view and approach for continuous improvement. Lean Six Sigma is a combination of Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma and uses a combined set of both Lean and Six Sigma tools. It also embraces best practices from other improvement methods like Total Quality Management, Total Productive Maintenance and Theory of Constraints. Lean Six Sigma includes a common goal of Lead Time reduction, operational cost reduction and overall quality improvement. Combining the synergies of Lean and Six Sigma provides organizations with greater speed, less variation and more bottom-line impact. Lately, many organizations have also added Agile to their continuous improvement strategy.
