Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Lean Six Sigma and working with QMSLean.

Lean Six Sigma is a methodology that combines Lean manufacturing principles (eliminating waste) with Six Sigma tools (reducing variation) to improve process performance, quality, and efficiency. It uses data-driven approaches like DMAIC to deliver measurable results.
It depends on scope. A Bronze assessment takes 1–2 weeks. Kaizen events deliver results in 3–5 days. Full enterprise transformations typically run 3–6 months. We guarantee measurable ROI within 90 days for Silver and Gold engagements.
Our clients typically see 25–45% cost reduction potential for organizations in the early stages of their Lean journey, and 10–20% further optimization for more mature operations. The specific ROI depends on your current state — use our free ROI Calculator to get a personalized estimate.
While Lean Six Sigma applies to any process-driven organization, we specialize in Manufacturing, Aerospace & Defense, Healthcare, Automotive, Food & Beverage, and Pharmaceuticals. These industries see the highest impact due to complex processes and strict quality requirements.
Yes! Through our sister brand Applied Guidance (appliedguidance.com), we offer Green Belt, Black Belt, and specialized Lean training programs. QMSLean focuses on hands-on consulting while Applied Guidance delivers the certification and training curriculum.
Lean focuses on eliminating waste and improving flow (speed), while Six Sigma focuses on reducing variation and defects (quality). Combined as Lean Six Sigma, they address both speed and quality simultaneously for maximum operational impact.
Kaizen events are focused 3–5 day workshops where a cross-functional team tackles a specific problem. We prepare extensively beforehand, facilitate the event with structured problem-solving, implement changes during the event, and follow up at 30 days to ensure sustainability.
Absolutely. We integrate with your existing QMS, ISO standards, and management systems. In fact, our sister brand Exceleor specializes in ISO certification, making the integration seamless. Lean Six Sigma enhances your QMS rather than replacing it.
