Lean Six Sigma Terms and Definitions

THE LANGUAGE OF LEAN SIX SIGMA

Like many other initiatives, Lean Six Sigma introduces a whole range of new terms and acronyms to the language of an organisation. Reference to these terms is made in many text books as well as in conversation with the practitioners of those methodologies, so it would be remiss of the world's Lean Six Sigma authors to not provide you with a simple reference that explains the terms being used.

THIS BOOK

This book does just that by providing a comprehensive collection of acronyms, terms and definitions used widely in the improvement world where Lean Six Sigma dominates.

The book was produced to help leaders who are new to the world of Lean Six Sigma as well as leaders and managers who already participate in the utilisation of these methodologies.

THE AUTHORS

This book was written as a collaboration between George Lee Sye, author of the best selling 'Process Mastery with Lean Six Sigma', and Dr. Morgan L Jones, author of 'Sponsor Success'. 

These two are widely recognised as experts in areas of business growth and business improvement using the methodologies of Lean and Six Sigma.

Their goal was to create an easy to reference guide that all leaders and managers could refer to as they enter the world of business improvement with Lean Six Sigma.
