The roots of Six Sigma as a tool of standard measurement can be traced back to the time of Carl Friedrich, who lived between 1777 to 1855. Friedrich introduced the concept that is today called the normal curve. The origination of the Six Sigma measurement standard came way during the time of Friedrich, but it took the Six Sigma format in the 1920s as a genesis of Walter Shewhart who demonstrated that Sigma as from the mean is the location where a particular process is in need of correction. There

Introduction Lean and Six Sigma are two different methodologies originally designed to meet the demands of manufacturing companies. Lean was born in the premises of Toyota and their production system. Lean is about eliminating waste to improve processes. Six Sigma, on the other hand, is a management methodology that seeks to eliminate variation in processes (Goldsby & Martichenko, 2005). Where these two methodologies meet, is in their final goal of process improvement. With two different ways of

Lean Six Sigma is a widely known approach used for improving the processing and quality of the products and services in an organization. Some of its major functions include improving quality, removing waste, reducing variation and organization. There have been several studies that focus on the combination of Lean Enterprise and Six Sigma. These applications mainly focused on the private industry more than the government industry. Hence, the research aims to explore the strategy of Lean Six Sigma

Abstract Lean and Six Sigma are recent developments in continuous improvement methodology that have been popularized by several companies. The success and balancing nature of these methodologies has led to their combination into a single methodology, commonly called Lean Six Sigma or Lean Sigma. Many of companies throughout the world implement Lean-Sigma with variable degree of success. Also, they involved lean- sigma to tackle problems such as production defects, and lean manufacturing, which aims
