Using the learning materials covered, answer the following question(s).

1. Discussion question: Choose two different companies within the same industry, one small- to medium-sized and one large-sized company, that use lean principles and/or six sigma and discuss 2 or 3 challenges each company might face when either implementing lean principles, or operating under lean principles, and maintaining the high standards. This will require some online research.

2. One example might be a small, independent maker of honey that sells their product at a farmer's market versus a large company that sells honey like Kraft.
