Program Description

This four-hour workshop has been designed to provide the core concepts of Lean Six Sigma with a focus on Lean practices and quality improvement tools. Application-oriented White Belt training makes it easy for participants to question how things get done within their "line-of-sight". Participants will be introduced to the DMAIC methodology: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control, as well as receive training in the problem solving methods and tools used to enhance their fundamental quality skills and their application of common sense. This program can also allow a corporation to introduce their Lean Six Sigma program into more areas within and reach various staff and line-level employees.
