Integrating Lean & Six Sigma Seminar     Presented by the Lean Six Sigma Institute   	
	 What You Can Expect From This Seminar:  Become a Certified Lean Six Sigma Master!     A world-class company cannot afford to overlook the global metric of Six Sigma to reduce variation and waste. These companies are also using lean techniques to increase throughput and reduce cycle times. This course shows you how to integrate Lean and Six Sigma tools to achieve business performance excellence. You'll attend four intensive weeks of integrated Lean and Six Sigma instruction--one week of seminar per month for four months. Between instruction weeks, you'll focus on getting results for your organization by using the tools in your own work environment. You'll devote at least one-third of your back-at-the-plant: time to an actual business performance improvement project. During the next instruction week, you'll share your project results with the program leaders and other participants, who will provide review and critique.
