DESCRIPTION
In today’s economy, regardless of the size, every organization is faced with the challenges to produce or deliver more with the existing resources. It is tough to accomplish without negatively affecting the quality of products and/or services.
Lean Six Sigma is a Business Management Strategy that has helped numerous companies for the past 20 years to achieve productivity gains and cost savings targets. Lean Six Sigma is a perfect marriage between two cutting edge methodologies. Popularized by Motorola in 1980s, Six Sigma is a data-driven methodology that optimizes the outputs of any process by systematically eliminating defects from the process.
Lean methodology focuses on reducing lead time of products and services by eliminating wastes from processes. Combined together, Lean Six Sigma enables companies deliver high quality products and services to consumers at faster rates and improve their bottom line results through efficiency gains.
