What is Lean Six Sigma?
Lean Six Sigma is a data-driven process improvement philosophy which
focuses upon the elimination of errors in products and service
while reducing the inventory and non-value.
The term “Sigma” itself is a measure of variation hence a Six Sigma process
results in 3.4 parts per million (PPM) errors, a virtually error-free
process. Lean manufacturing, introduced by Toyota, combined with the power
of Six Sigma started expanding into all sizes of companies in a great
variety of industries and services around the world.

What is DFSS?
Design for Six
Sigma is the most empowering tool for new product and process design
to ensure that resulting product /process meets Six Sigma goals of virtually
defect free.
DFSS could also be used as a result of a Six Sigma project which ended
because Six Sigma improvement process was not suitable to overcome
fundamental design issues. Many companies today take advantage of
DFSS to design new products hence eliminating errors in products and
service delivery before customers see them. |

Are your customers happy?
According to research, Customer service and support is often dreadful.
A recent survey suggests that one out of two customers
experience problems with service and support in addition to
having experienced quality issues with the product.
And when customers are unhappy, they don't stay quiet about it —
they often share their negative experiences with others. Such
problems can hurt your company's bottom line! Lean Six Sigma can
help you fix such problems your company is facing to boost up
your profit while increasing the customer satisfaction.

"We learned
to stop the analysis paralyses caldron we always got into, put a
stake in the ground and focus on continuous improvement. We now rely
on our experts and not decisions by committee.
Dr. T. and his team were excellent during the
training. Their scheduling flexibility was awesome, they tailored the
class to our needs, but as I learned when we finished I fully understood
Six Sigma and could apply it any scenario."
