“Applying Lean and Six Sigma to the Whole Enterprise”
Lean and Six Sigma methods are high-leverage tools for business
performance improvement. Most people start with operational
improvements on the shop floor where the principles are easier
to apply to physical processes. Advanced organizations blend
key attributes of lean and six sigma concepts to the entire
enterprise.
This one-day workshop will provide leadership
with key information about these management tools to create
a “lean enterprise” with agility to exceed the
expectations of the most demanding customers
