Six Sigma

Six Sigma is a business management strategy to improve the quality of process outputs by identifying and removing the causes of defects (effors) and minimizing variability in manufacturing and business processes. (by wikipedia). Six Sigma seeks to decrease the rate of defects to less than 5% or increase the rate of products to pass certain standards of quality up to 95%. Some companies highly value this skill when they look for employees.

Lean Enterprise

Lean is a production practice that considers the expenditure of resources for any goal other than the creation of value for the end customer to be wasteful, and thus a target for elimination. Essentially, lean is centered on preserving value with less work (by wikipedia). Companies highly value this skill as well.
