When examining Kaizen tools, initially, there is no direct connection to business processes or business process modeling. However, Kaizen and business process management can mutually enhance each other. In the realm of business process management, Kaizen's objectives are directly derived from the objectives for business processes and sub-processes. This linkage ensures that Kaizen measures effectively support the overarching business objectives."<ref name="SCHMELZER" /> <sup>(Chapter 6.3.3 KAIZEN) ← automatic translation from German</sup>
Six Sigma is designed to prevent errors and improve the [[Process capability index|process capability]] so that the proportion of process outcomes that meet the requirements is 6σ - or in other words, for every million process outcomes, only 3.4 errors occur. Hermann J. Schmelzer and Wolfgang Sesselmann explain: "Companies often encounter considerable resistance at a level of 4σ, which makes it necessary to redesign business processes in the sense of business process re-engineering (design for Six Sigma)."<ref name="SCHMELZER" /> <sup>(Chapter 6.3.4 Six Sigma) ← automatic translation from German</sup> For a reproducible measurement of process capability, precise knowledge of the business processes is required and business process modeling is a suitable tool for design for Six Sigma. Six Sigma, therefore, uses business process modeling according to [[SIPOC]] as an essential part of the methodology, and business process modeling using SIPOC has established itself as a standard tool for Six Sigma.
