Core concepts
Improving business processes is on top of the agenda for chief and senior executives. This requires a solid understanding of current and future business processes and their alignment with business objectives. Process improvement includes identifying and improving business processes in an organisation.
Lean Six Sigma is a rigorous and disciplined methodology that uses organisational data and statistical analysis to measure and improve the performance of an organisation's business processes. The objectives are to:
- eliminate waste
- reduce process variation
- increase customer satisfaction
- increase profitability and competitiveness.
During this course, hands-on case studies will provide you with direct exposure to common process issues that can be fixed through the application of the DMAIC (define, measure, analyse, improve and control) approach. Various statistical analysis techniques will be presented throughout the course and put into practice via supervised exercises.
