LEAN SIX SIGMA

Earn Your Designation One Step At A Time

Regardless of where you are on your Continuous Improvement journey, Lean & Six Sigma will provide you with actionable tips, tools and insights - providing you with more time to do the things you love.


WHAT IS LEAN?

Lean thinking is a continuous improvement discipline which analyzes the flow of product, materials, people, information and the systematic elimination of “waste”. By reducing the level of 'waste', the process becomes more efficient and effective.


The eight sources of waste are: over-production, defects, inventory, over-processing, transportation, waiting, motion and underutilized people. 


WHAT IS SIX SIGMA?

Within the Six Sigma philosophy, a defect is regarded as anything which causes internal or external customer dissatisfaction or prevents any part of the process from performing flawlessly. The higher the Sigma level of a process, the lower the number of defects it produces. 


This is achieved by following the DMAIC methodology which is Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control.

WHY LEAN SIX SIGMA?

LEAN SIX SIGMA IS BOTH A STANDARD METHODOLOGY FOR APPROACHING & EXECUTING IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS AND IT IS A MINDSET - A LENS FOR REDUCING FRUSTRATION BY IDENTIFYING PAIN POINTS AND EITHER REDUCING OR ELIMINATING THEM.
