Lean Six Sigma is een management methodiek van bedrijfsprestaties verbetering die de twee individuele specialismen van Lean en Six Sigma heeft gecombineerd.

De toepassing van Lean Six Sigma maakt het mogelijk kwaliteits- en efficiëntieverbeteringen effectief te realiseren. De focus van Lean ligt op snelheid, efficiëntie en het elimineren van de verspillen in een proces. Six Sigma richt zich op effectiviteit en het verwijderen van fouten.

Wanneer het op de juiste manier wordt gecombineerd en geïmplementeerd, kan het een krachtige managementtool zijn die de prestaties van een organisatie aanzienlijk kan verbeteren door een gestructureerde aanpak te bieden voor het oplossen van problemen.

We zijn verheugd aan te kondigen dat alle Lean Six Sigma belts nu beschikbaar zijn in het Nederlands.

  • Effectief te werken met, of als lid van, een procesverbeteringsteam dat werkt in een omgeving die Lean Six Sigma ondersteunt.
  • Processen te analyseren en verfijnen om de efficiëntie te verbeteren en afval te verwijderen met behulp van Lean.
  • Procesvariatie te verminderen en het verbeteren van kwaliteit en consistentie.
