About the presentation:

Lean is greatly touted an effective method for the improvement of process performance Lean Six Sigma promises to be a power addition to Six Sigma.  Unlike Six Sigma which is pretty straightforward, Lean is based on philosophies critical to its application. It is not structured as with the Six Sigma DMAIC process, and has a large number of possible tools specific to the problem to be resolved that are sometimes incorrectly applied.

This lecture improves the understanding of Lean concepts for ASQ certified Green and Black Belts, and provides a foundation for individuals wanting to learn Lean or become ASQ Six Sigma certified.  The workshop uses a case study to provide hands-on learning experience and will illustrate what is required to understand a process from a Lean perspective and how to map a process using Value Stream Mapping. Also covered are the fundamental metrics such as Lead-time, Cycle Time, Takt, as well as other frequently used tools and will touch on how Lean is used in different industries.
