A Lean Six Sigma deployment in an organization is to improve processes that have financial benefit.
Full deployment of lean Six Sigma is often suggested as the best way to initiate Six Sigma; however, it is typically better to grow into an overall system. In the real world, most companies don’t have the bandwidth to create an infrastructure that can support a very large instantaneous Six Sigma deployment.

The PDF article provided below provides implement aspects that should be considered when initiating a deployment.
