Lean Six Sigma is a process-improvement methodology that combines Lean's waste-reduction principles with Six Sigma's statistical, data-driven approach to reducing defects and variation. Certified practitioners (often holding Yellow, Green, or Black Belt credentials) use it in manufacturing, healthcare, and business settings to improve quality and efficiency.
