Lean and Six Sigma tools are an extention of quality improvement principles that are over 100 years old. While Lean was defined in the 1980's as part of the Toyota Production System it's roots go back to Poor Richard's Almanac and even further. Six Sigma also has deep roots as it is a progression of the Plan-Do-Check-Act pattern that was defined by Walter A. Shewhart in his work in the 1920's and 1930's. This was later expanded upon by W. Edwards Deming in the 1930's and 1940's in his work with Ford Motor Company, and the Japanese Union of Scientists and Engineers.
