Define, measure, analyze, improve, control, recognize and standardize are the tools for six sigma respectively. Kanban, error proofing, productive maintenance, reduce lot sizes, line balancing, schedule leveling, visual management, kaizen, value stream process mapping, set up time reduction and 5S are the tools needed for lean.

• Wait time waste or idle time waste, which is product creation time.
• The product waste or delivery waste, which is the time to get the product.
