Lately, people have been comparing the two—Six Sigma and Lean. The misconception is that Lean has taken over Six Sigma, as Lean is about streamlining ang being fast. Six Sigma, on the other hand, is about data and ensuring that processes don’t deviate from the norm.
To me, each methodology has its merits and demerits. And I agree with what Craig Cook says: Lean or Six Sigma, it all depends on the execution, and how much you are willing to learn about the methodology as you go along.
