Course Overview
Our 3 – day instructor led, Lean Process and Six Sigma training will give participants the foundation to begin implementing Lean process improvement tools in their workplace as sell as an overview of Six Sigma. The first day will explore the foundations of Lean through the Toyota precepts and the five critical improvement concepts (value, waste, variation, complexity, and continuous improvement). The second day will give participants tools to perform continuous improvement in their organization, including 5S, 5W-2H, PDSA, DMAIC, Kaizen, Genchi Genbutsu, and various Lean data mapping methods. On the third day of the course, students will be introduced to basic concepts of Six Sigma particularly in continuous process improvement.
