What is Six Sigma?
Six Sigma is a highly disciplined approach used to reduce
the process variation to such a great extent that the level of
defects reduced to less than 3.4ppm.Sigma (), a Greek letter used to describe variability.
Defect level is measured in terms of PPM or DPMO.

Lean Six Sigma
Lean aims at increasing speed by eliminating waste in the system.
Six Sigma aims at reducing variations to improve process quality.
Six Sigma to make processes predictable, processes require high process
capability. Poor quality levels increase inventory.
10% scrap can slow down the process by 40%.
Only Six Sigma approach may not be able to reduce cycle times or
inventories.
Defect reduction reduces cycle time but other non value adding activities
like set up times, machine breakdowns, transportations etc; must beminimised.
To increase process speed.
Dramatic improvements are possible with Lean six Sigma implemented
together.

Six Sigma and Quality Certifications
-- Basic ground work by implementing a quality system such as QS 9000 or ISO TS
16949 or at least ISO 9000.-- No international standards for Six Sigma approach.
-- Backbone of successful implementation is strong commitment from top
management.
-- Commonalities among most companies:
Project based improvement approach
Strong linkage to business goals, objectives and financial benefits. Projects sponsored by senior management.
Execution of projects by leaders called black or green belts.
Extensive training in statistical tools.
Projects across various functions not limited to product quality.
