Lean Six Sigma is a management approach to business-performance improvement that has blended the two individual specialisms of Lean and Six Sigma. While Lean focuses on speed, efficiency, and taking waste out of a process, Six Sigma focuses on being effective and eliminating errors. Together they can greatly improve an organization’s performance by providing a structured approach to resolving problems.

Richard Pharro, CEO of APMG, the certification’s awarding body said, "APMG is committed to bringing new products to market that suit the needs of professional people working in all kinds of disciplines. We are delighted that ELS has seen the market for Lean Six Sigma grow, and we expect in time that this certification will prove to be extremely popular."
