Lean Sigma, an approach that has been in practice for several years, mixes the lean manufacturing concept and problem solving approach with Six Sigma for a more efficient manufacturing process. The idea is to combine Lean Sigma with a company's strategic objectives to make sure every project and activity benefits these strategic objectives and always has a positive affect on net profit.
