SixSigma is a Quality Improvement methodology structured to reduceproduct or service failure rates to a negligible level. To achieve sixsigma quality levels, the Six Sigma process encompasses all aspectsof a business, including management, service delivery, design,production and customer satisfaction. Six Sigma companies typicallyspend less than 5 percent of their revenues addressing and repairingquality problems. Lean Enterprise is a structured, disciplined processfor improving the efficiency of operations by identifying andeliminating non-value added activities and streamlining value-addedactivities. Organizations that deploy Lean Six Sigma routinely realizedramatic improvements in quality, productivity, inventory levels,
