There is one truism that gets reinforced everyday in business: quality brings return customers. Quality should be the focus of every organization; it is the ticket to entry for every product and service. However the truly successful companies realize that another truism can be exploited, that is, execution speed brings a premium. The intersection of these two business realities is Lean Six Sigma. The companies that implement it have low cost of selling and high EBITA.”
