Sigma
Used in statistics as a measure of variation Standard Deviation The central philosophy of 6 Sigma is the reduction of variation in all our work processes

History of Lean
Lean originates from the work of Taiichi Ohno who was looking to create effective production processes at Toyota after the Second World War The fundamental principle is the elimination of all forms of waste (or MUDA) Initially adopted by other Japanese companies it took some time to reach the West and is known by various names (eg Toyota Production System (TPS), Just-In-Time (JIT), etc) Leans systematic focus on the removal of waste is now being applied across many industrial sectors and is used by many of the organisations using Six Sigma

We receive no credit for rework or repair! If we have labour costs of 300,000 per annum, then we are directly wasting 0.174 x 300,000 = 52,200 per year, without taking any account of material wastage or other costs In Six Sigma terms, this is known as the Hidden Factory
