Answering only the 1st Question as HOMEWORKLIB policy.

1. Write a short summary of Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma. What is the difference in between the two?

Six Sigma: Six Sigma focuses on making the product error-free and eliminating wastage. It even focuses on reducing the variability of the product to give the maximum satisfaction to the customer. It is a data-driven methodology and a process which is re-engineered and the process is re0designed many times. It thinks of total quality control.

On the other hand,

Lean Six Sigma: It is the extension of Six Sigma with focuses of the DMAIC approach. It follows the principle that the process should be made default free so that the final product can be defect free. It helps in highlighting the fact that the process must be streamlined. It involves a ratio called perception to expectation ratio. When the product exceeds 1 in perception to expectation ratio it helps in giving customer loyalty. Example, in the case of Motorola.
