what is lean six sigma also called as

Lean Six Sigma is most commonly abbreviated as LSS (Lean Six Sigma) and is also sometimes referred to simply as Lean Six in informal or internal project‑team language.

Main alternate names

• Lean Six Sigma (LSS) – full formal name, widely used in companies, training, and certifications.

• Lean Six – shortened, slightly casual version used in conversations and project titles.

• Six Sigma + Lean – when people stress that it is a combination of two methods (Lean for waste removal, Six Sigma for variation reduction).

What it basically is

Lean Six Sigma is a process‑improvement framework that merges:

• Lean : focuses on cutting waste (like waiting, over‑processing, excess inventory) and improving flow.

• Six Sigma : focuses on reducing defects and variation using data, tools like DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control).

Because of this blend, you’ll often see it highlighted in forums and recent discussions as “LSS” or “Lean‑Six improvement” in manufacturing, IT, healthcare, and service‑industry contexts.
