I think lean six sigma eliminates non value added activies in the organization because if these non value added activities are eliminated it creates

  • Value
  • Indentifies the value system
  • Makes the flow efficiently by removing the unwanted steps
  • Gives enough time(Buffer) for the critical path
  • Final outcome will be perfect.(that Is it may be Final Product, Time to be completed etc.)

I think it is considered to be a requirement.  Thanks.
