LEAN SIX SIGMA
Lean Six Sigma is the most popular business performance methodology in the history of corporate development.
The Lean Six Sigma (LSS) certifications are designed to support corporate in their mission to improve customer satisfaction, boost performance levels, and shorten the time-to-market. Self-employed professionals and consultants are looking to benefit from the above-average salary level provided by Lean Six Sigma certification and its potential for cross-industry application.
Lean focuses on efficiency through the minimization of waste, errors, and delays, while Six Sigma focuses on quality and consistency through processes improvement and variation reduction. The combination guarantees cost and time efficient products and services of the highest quality.
