Lean Six Sigma means less is more
Course Introduction
- To survive in this globally competitive market, companies cannot rely on “doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result” (Einstein). To gain competitive advantage, companies have to operate with little “fat” – i.e., “lean”. Lean” means doing more with less; working smarter rather than harder; improving quality and doing things right the first time; eliminating waste and improving efficiencies. Many companies fail to recognize the need for change. We offer Lean six sigma training Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban (South Africa).

What is Lean Six Sigma?
It’s a methodology that was first coined by Motorola and then made popular by Jack Welch (CEO of General Electric) in the 1990’s. Through a 5 stage process, companies are able to optimize business processes, reduce waste, improve quality and inefficiencies. The effect: huge cost savings, increased quality and impact on the bottom-line! By using Lean Six Sigma, many companies across the globe have saved billions over the past two decades. A few examples of companies that have had the benefit of mobilizing Lean Six Sigma in the workplace are: Dell, StandardBank, Transnet Xerox¸3M, ABSA, Plascon and many many more.
“Once you understand and better document business processes, you’ll start to slice out areas of improvement and realize financial savings.”
