It plans and implements a change on a modest scale, studies its consequences, and uses the data to improve. Goal selection, outcome monitoring, and plan implementation are crucial (Hughes, 2008). The strategy allows frequent, modest improvement cycles for quick tweaks and modifications. It provides a framework for evaluating changes to processes and outcomes ( Hughes, 2008; Magnan, 2021). The process is laborious and requires careful preparation and documentation; however, it may not work for large-scale or systemic changes due to its gradual approach (Magnan, 2021). Six Sigma Six Sigma, originally a commercial concept, improves processes to reduce waste and boost satisfaction. It uses DMAIC—Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control—and statistical approaches to measure process capabilities. It seeks defect reduction and performance improvement (Hughes, 2008). It is a structured, data-driven decision-making methodology. It allows systematic process defect identification and correction (Hughes, 2008). It needs statistical training, but for non-Six Sigma enterprises, implementation may take time and resources (Elkhairi et al., 2019). The Toyota/Lean Production System Le...
