Lean Six Sigma Certificate

Six Sigma is a quality control methodology that turns insights into change. It consists of various tools, techniques and step-by-step approaches, all of which have the same goal – to deliver better products or services to customers. Six Sigma offers practical methods for improving the efficiency of operational processes. It does so by finding and eliminating variations and opportunities for error, thus increasing the number of successful results.

Lean Six Sigma is an enhanced version of the original. It combines the essential efficiency and quality focus of Six Sigma with a separate methodology called Lean. Lean aims to eliminate all wasteful production steps – those that are deemed unprofitable as well as deviations from standard processes – leaving only those that directly add value.

From a Lean perspective, a feature or change only adds value if the customer would pay for it. If a step doesn’t directly boost profits, Lean eliminates it from production. It’s all about making production more efficient. When you cut steps that don’t drive income, you make more room for those that do. And when you take those steps and refine them to eliminate errors, you boost a project’s overall payoff.
