|Continuous Improvement
Lean/Six Sigma.  Simply put, lean/six sigma is a method for achieving success that can be applied in nearly any industry, from health care to manufacturing. Lean/six sigma focuses on developing and continuously improving processes that reduce waste, improve quality, drive customer satisfaction and positively impact the bottom line. Employees at all levels can become involved in, and benefit from, lean/six sigma initiatives.

We make it easy and convenient to build credibility, increase efficiency and improve your company’s bottom line through quality management initiatives.

Green Belt Hybrid Training

Our green belt hybrid training program starts by building a strong foundation with twelve online modules that teach participants about lean processes, techniques and the six sigma DMAIC methodology. Students can work through these modules at their own pace, earning a yellow belt certification upon completion.

The program concludes with the identification and completion of a project, selected with help from a master black belt. Weekly work sessions continue for six weeks, allowing students to build upon their yellow belt skills and earn their green belt certification.

Lean Executive Series

Organizations benefit the most when lean practices are integrated into the company’s culture. Like any major initiative, when leadership is on board and walking the walk, employees are more likely to embrace lean concepts.

The five four-hour sessions in the “How to Champion a Lean Six Sigma Organization” include:
