Powerful Tools. Hands-On Experience. Expert Mentoring.
Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is a set of tools, techniques, and operating principles that represents the best of practices in quality and process improvement, resulting in improved performance and reduced costs. The goal is to evaluate processes and focus on simplifying steps and determining ways to achieve faster outcomes. Ultimately, by identifying variation in our process and defining the expectations of our customers, then we can move toward faster and more accurate processes.
This five-month Certificate program is based on the established DMAIC process (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control). The training is beneficial for participants who have process improvement responsibilities and wish to advance their career, as well as those individuals who are new to the tool set and want to:
- Improve Quality and Delivery
- Be Competitive and Save Money
- Gain Better Customer & Employee Satisfaction
