Workshop Focus

A Gold Mine Of Powerful “How To” Instruction Crammed Into One 2-Day Workshop

OVERVIEW

In this 2-day workshop you will learn through hands-on simulations and case studies:

  • Why you should use Lean Sigma as the rallying point for an effective improvement process

  • How Lean Sigma tools generate cost savings

  • How to implement Lean Sigma and link it to your business strategy

  • How to get your management team and associates to rally around your Lean Sigma initiative, making it a part of your culture, not just the “flavor of the month”

  • How much implementing Lean Sigma can save you and how much is lost by waiting

The goal of Lean Sigma is to eliminate all forms of waste and unwanted variation in process, product, service and information - in other words, your complete Enterprise. Working with Lean Sigma, the benefits are greater than either toolset (Lean or Six Sigma) can provide alone. Your Enterprise will perform much faster, with much less variation. How much? This workshop will help you determine that answer.

Lean Sigma is the key to increased output, with more predictable results, while using fewer resources. Applying Lean Sigma to constraints or critical processes will increase speed and capacity, while improving predictability and repeatability.

QUESTIONS WE’LL ANSWER:

  • What can you accomplish with Lean Sigma?

  • What parts of Lean and Six Sigma apply to you?

  • Are you ready for Lean Sigma? Is it for you?

  • How should you begin to implement Lean Sigma? What tools should you use?

  • Where should you start? How do you prioritize?

  • How much training do you need?

  • Can you do it all yourself?

  • What is it going to take to be successful?
