This paper will explore the fundamental relationships between Lean Sigma and simulation. A basic overview of Lean Sigma includes: 1) Lean Sigma philosophy, 2) Basic tools, 3) Theory of Variation, 4) SPC, 5) Process capability, 6) Lean Sigma infrastructure, and 7) DMAIC and DFSS processes. Simulation will be applied to the appropriate areas of the overview. Improvement in the robustness of the Lean Sigma methodology will be discussed and the strengths of simulation will be presented as capable and preferable enhancements to the Lean Sigma processes. Quotes from Lean Sigma and industry leaders will be presented. Simulation will be presented as an innovation tool enhancing the Lean Sigma DMAIC and DFSS processes.
