  • Solving problems caused by a process. Problems are defects in a product or service that cost your organisation money.

  • Maximising your organisation’s efforts toward delivering a satisfactory* product or service to your customers
  • Allowing your organisation to allocate resources/revenue produced from your newly improved processes towards growing your business
  • Simply put, Lean Six Sigma enables you to create efficient processes so that your organisation can deliver more products or services, with more satisfied customers than ever before.

  • Involving employees in the improvement process. This promotes active participation and results in an engaged, accountable team.
  • Building trust. Transparency throughout all levels of the organisation promotes a shared understanding of how each person is important to the organisation’s success.
  • Lean Six Sigma develops a sense of ownership and accountability for your employees. This increases their effectiveness at delivering results for any improvement project they are involved in. Quite often, this benefit is overlooked by organisations who implement Lean Six Sigma, but it’s underlying advantages dramatically increase the chances of continued success of Lean Six Sigma and your business.
