A Lean or Six Sigma Certificate is becoming an expectation in the business world and is synonymous with effective team players. Our online training meets the demands of busy professionals with a self-paced approach, rather than the complications and costs of on-site providers.
• Learn how to design, develop, and implement better processes in order to deliver breakthrough improvements in any business sector or environment.
• Help organizations decrease costs, increase revenues, improve quality and customer relationships, and increase market share.
• Most organizations focus only on the operation of their business, seldom stopping to ask themselves, "What went wrong?" Six Sigma directs people to continually evaluate critical processes.
• Lean Six Sigma provides a systematic approach which reduces waste in the value stream. It not only covers defective products, but all types of defective work.
• Lean Six Sigma identifies defects, overproduction, inventories (in process or finished goods), unnecessary processing, unnecessary movement of people, unnecessary transport of goods, waiting, and designing goods and services that don’t meet customer’s needs.
Our Virtual structure allows us to deliver a high-value learning experience at prices that are the best in the market... at a fraction of the cost what you would be required to pay for similar programs elsewhere while still achieving the highest level of quality and service.
