Variation occurs everywhere! Understanding and reducing variation in service, manufacturing and sales and marketing processes are key to achieving Six Sigma performance. Measurement and statistical analysis are key elements for a successful program. The Six Sigma process and its linkage to Lean Production System will be discussed. The course is highly interactive where delegates will run a business simulation process applying their new knowledge to approach six sigma performances.
