Lean Six Sigma
Solve problems, streamline processes and deliver value to customers
Lean Six Sigma is a process improvement programme that combines two ideas: Lean - a collection of techniques for reducing the time needed to provide products or services, and Six Sigma - a collection of techniques for improving the quality of products and services, substantially contributing to increased customer satisfaction.
By combining the two, Lean Six Sigma is a proven business management strategy that helps organisations operate more efficiently. Lean Six Sigma is a proven business strategy that seeks to improve measurable results and to enhance the quality of process outputs by identifying and removing the causes of defects (errors) and minimising variability in business processes.
According to many business analysts and quality improvement experts, Lean Six Sigma is the most popular business performance methodology in the history of corporate development.
IASSC provides unbiased independent third-party validation of Lean Six Sigma knowledge through the globally recognised Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, Green Belt and Yellow Belt Certifications, aiming to measure a person’s knowledge of the topics contained within the IASSC Lean Six Sigma Body of Knowledge™.
