Sixsigma - First, what it is not. It is not a secret society, a slogan or a cliché.
"Six Sigma is a highly disciplined process that helps us focus on developing and delivering near-perfect products and services. "
Why 'Sigma' ? : The word is a statistical term that measures how far a given process deviates from perfection.
The central idea behind Six Sigma is that if you can measure how many “defects” you have in a process, you can systematically figure out how to eliminate them and get as close to “zero defects” as possible.
Six Sigma has changed the DNA of GE — 'it is now the way we work' — in everything they do and in every product they design.

Get the sixsigma mug.Kaizen is an approach to total quality management which can be described as continuously improving by making small improvements, mainly in process, every time the process is seen not to be as good as it could be.
Kaizen stands for two japanese words "kai" (change) "zen" (good or for the better) so it's change for the better. The idea here is continual improvement.
Kaizen focus:
- elimination of the 6 types of waste
- the five-S framework
- standardization.
"Kaizen means improvement. Moreover It means continuing improvement in personal life, home life, social life, and working life. When applied to the workplace Kaizen means continuing incremental improvement involving everyone--managers and workers alike."

DontClick.IT is an absolutely brilliant site that explores the possibility of a click-free interface and it does it very well. A must see for every user interface/usability expert ........When I first heard about the site on BBC's clickonline, I surely didn't expect the project to be so well developed. Everything is explained really well and there are more general sections like for example the history of the click (learn >> The Click History), that are definitely a good and interesting read.....The site's technology also allows the developers to keep statistics that will inform them about how many users can actually resist clicking while visiting the site........
"We do not only record the site visits. With every visit the first click that happened will be recorded as well. The relationship between these two numbers tells us, whether people can resist to click within this interface, or, if they just click the next thing that looks like a button because they are determined by their clicking habits".

Kaizen focus:
- elimination of the 6 types of waste
- the five-S framework
- standardization.
Kaizen works well in slow-growth economy whereas Six Sigma is better adaptive in a fast-growth economy. Kaizen tends to involve everybody and the pace of improvement is gradual and small.
Kaizen is used for continual or small incremental improvement over a long time span rather than a drastic breakthorugh or revolution
