Lean Six Sigma is a modern combination of business improvement methodologies suited to both manufacturing and transactional companies in all business sectors. Traditional Lean Enterprise generally focuses on removal of waste and traditional Six Sigma project focus is understanding root cause and the reduction of variation. By combining the two, the result is reduced variation, improved quality, and removal of waste with increased velocity of throughput. The IQMS/TEC Lean Six Sigma training courses are modular programmes delivered by IQMS/TEC tutors and experienced Six Sigma Master Black Belts with the requisite qualifications to deliver training, mentoring and consulting.
