communities of lean six sigma

Applying the leading edge of performance improvement

This study will focus on the productivity gains that can be made by utilizing Lean Six Sigma, a major initiative for driving new levels of business performance improvement. The study will review how, by utilizing customer-centered, industry-recognized methodologies, a number of Fortune 500 companies have made a major commitment to using Lean Six Sigma tools and methodology, both to drive improvements in their businesses for their customers and to deliver measurable results for the bottom line. The disciplined approaches involve analyzing business processes and identifying ways to eliminate both errors and unnecessary steps and review ways to deliver improvements quickly and focus on leveraging existing infrastructure investments.

This study will review how productivity improvements can be achieved from streamlining paper-choked workflows to automating labor-intensive functions, and make recommendations concerning where significant performance improvements could be achieved a large-scale roll-out of Lean Six Sigma in the public and academic sectors.
