Lean Six Sigma

Lean Six Sigma is a process improvement approach that seeks to improve performance by eliminating waste and defects. It combines Lean Management and Six Sigma methods and tools to reduce variation, cycle time, and operational costs, while increasing customer satisfaction and value creation. It is a fact-based, data-driven philosophy of improvement that values defect prevention over defect detection.
Multiple Training Models Available:
Asynchronous eLearning, Instructor-Led, or Hybrid
