    Six Sigma is to reduce and eliminate defects to cut down on waste, more geared toward manufacturing
    JIT is a strategy for reducing inventory to cut down on waste
    TQM is geared toward customer satisfaction.
    The goals are basically the same (save money) but each has a slightly different application.
