Description

Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is a well-known approach for achieving operational excellence that does more than simply improve processes. LSS combines the process improvement benefits of Lean with the statistical process control (SPC) benefits of Six Sigma. It takes advantage of the “value-added” focus of Lean while maintaining the statistical rigors of Six Sigma. The course series includes four full-day training sessions with two weeks between sessions for participants to complete project work that is an essential part of the LSSGB program. Sessions will include all training materials, project support, venue, and food.

Walk Away With

  • Course material, simulations, and exercises relevant to the regional organizations
  • Training with LSS project work that allows participants to apply class learnings to an actual project within their organization
  • Successful participants receive a completion certificate from the College of Southern Idaho

Who Should Attend?

Individuals and employers who are looking for a real ROI. Our real-world project work is a vital part of the LSSGB program. You will start to see real improvements in lead time reduction, productivity increase, WIP reduction, quality improvement and space utilization.
