What are Lean and Six Sigma?

Lean and Six Sigma are tools to streamline business processes. For example, imagine the problem of wasted time in the workplace:

• Are there bottlenecks in your organization where material builds up waiting to be processed?
• Do some departments often sit idle while waiting on work?
• Does partially finished work sit in inventory for extended periods?
• When your employees begin a job, do they have everything they need, or do they have to interrupt their work to get supplies/information?
• Does one department spend time fixing another department's mistakes?
• Do forms travel circuitous paths through your organization, crossing one desk many times?

All of this time adds cost to your customers, without adding any value to your product or service. Lean and Six Sigma work to eliminate these problems, helping you reduce cost and improve quality by streamlining operations.


Please note: The dates listed for this course are all portions of the same ongoing class, and cannot be taken as individual days.
