Is Lean Six Sigma doable for me?\u2019\u2019 So, why use statistics in Lean Six Sigma? Lean Six Sigma is about continuously improving, so you need to know how good or how bad you are. For this, you must use samples to say something about the big picture. That is basically what statistics is. So what&nbsp;kind of&nbsp;non-statisticians&nbsp;benefit from Lean Six Sigma?&nbsp;&nbsp;My answer is many types. It provides a lot of the calculations with an assistant function, explaining what you are doing.&nbsp;So the answer to the question: \u2018\u2019is Lean Six Sigma something for me, without being a stats expert?\u2019\u2019 is yes. But, is Lean Six Sigma about stats? Regrettably, that\u2019s an image problem. Lean Six Sigma is about continuous improvement and changing the way you do things. Statistics do not change behavior. So Lean Six Sigma is not just for statisticians, but for everyone who can create a change in behavior. Stats are&nbsp;just&nbsp;a tool. If you would ask me what the most important tool of Lean Six Sigma is, I can give you a comforting answer. Because we all have one: a brain!&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Find more information:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theleansixsigmacompany.co.uk\/what-is-lean\/\">What is Lean?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theleansixsigmacompany.co.uk\/what-is-six-sigma\/\">What is Six Sigma?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theleansixsigmacompany.co.uk\/\">What is Lean Six Sigma?&nbsp;<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A short explanation of why we can all use Lean Six Sigma with use of a video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":107,"featured_media":14585,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14583","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-lean-six-sigma-topics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Why we can all use Lean Six Sigma - theleansixsigmacompany.com\/eu<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Lean\u202fSix\u202fSigma isn&#039;t just for factories.
