Lean Six Sigma Services
Our foundation for improvement is the Lean Six Sigma methodology, which we apply in many ways to support business improvement goals. We provide customised training, coaching and other consulting services when and where they are needed.
Training is the start of the journey, not the end. Effective coaching is critical to ensuring the project is successful and the Green Belt or Black Belt Learns how to use the Lean Six Sigma tools properly. Working closely with the project leaders, we guide them through using the Lean Six Sigma concepts and tools, helping them to use them to maximum benefit. A project leader without an effective coach is likely to struggle applying the tools for the first time, and probably will not get the most value out of the project, if it ever is completed.
Borrow a Black Belt
Is the problem so urgent that you need an expert immediately? Our Black Belts and Master Black Belts will run the project, do the analysis and drive the solutions for you. This approach is often useful in the early stages of a deployment, when business leaders need to see rapid results in order to buy into the Lean Six Sigma methodology.
