SIP is "just another Six Sigma measure"?

Thinking about Six Sigma tonight as I strolled through Borders leafing
through various Six Sigma books, I wondered if SIP is already one of Six
Sigma's many measures.

I briefly read a bulleted list that Six Sigma is about:

    * Improving quality
    * Minimize cycle time
    * Minimize inventory

This goes along with the whole "Lean Thinking" thing, which makes me
wonder if SIP hasn't already been well-explored by the Six Sigma folks.

Anyone here more knowledgeable about the subject matter want to put
their two cents in?
