Lean Six Sigma combines two complementary methodologies: Lean, which focuses on eliminating waste and streamlining flow, and Six Sigma, which aims to reduce process variation and defects. This integrated approach is widely recognized for driving significant performance improvements and cost savings. For a formal definition and broader context, you can refer to the ASHRAE Terminology resource on quality and process terms.
