About our LSS training

Some of today's most respected companies — including GE, Motorola, Allied Signal, and Sun Microsystems — have used Lean Six Sigma to improve their organizations.

Lean Six Sigma is a process improvement methodology that aims to increase value by improving quality, speed, client satisfaction while reducing costs. It achieves this by merging tools and principles from both Lean and Six Sigma and has been widely adopted in manufacturing and services organizations.

“Lean” is a process improvement-methodology used to enable the delivery of products and services better, faster and at a lower cost.

“Six Sigma” is a data driven process improvement methodology used to achieve stable and predictable process results, reducing process variation and defects. Essentially it seeks to identify and eliminate causes of error, defects or failures in a business process by focusing on critical outputs.

Our Lean Six Sigma program gives you valuable business tools to achieve process excellence and help your team:

Redesign flow to better account for customer and supplier variability
Analyze the root cause of product problems
Make informed decisions about cost benefit of a company project
Capture meaningful metrics to help know and grow your business
Experiment to determine best practices to deliver quality, every time
