Abstract	This paper presents an in-depth analysis of integrating Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma to achieve operational excellence. Lean focuses on reducing waste and increasing process speed, while Six Sigma emphasizes quality improvement through defect reduction and variability control. Combining these methodologies, known as Lean Six Sigma (LSS), creates a powerful toolkit for industries seeking to improve both efficiency and quality. Real-world examples from companies such as General Electric, Toyota, and 3M demonstrate the practical applications of LSS, highlighting the benefits and challenges of its implementation. This paper also discusses critical success factors and proposes future research directions in Lean Six Sigma.
