Majority of Indian products and services cannot be considered world class – regardless of what they think of LSS.

Very, very few companies in the world have a truly effective Lean Six Sigma environment – no matter what the bluster is from many companies on how good they are. Also, many Japanese companies are world’s best in quality WITHOUT extensive so-called Six Sigma implementation in a formal manner – even though most of the Lean Six Sigma concepts do originate from them. The reason may very well be that Japanese companies ALSO practice Hoshin Kanri (for smooth dissemination of company objectives and policies throughout the organization) and practicing it is in their psyche – unlike companies elsewhere.
