In addition to public and customized training courses, our instructors, all Master Black Belts or Black Belts, are skilled facilitators and project leaders. We are often asked to provide a facilitator to work with an organization's executive team as they develop project selection criteria and project lists. In most of these situations, the facilitator has also helped coordinate the projects and serve as a project coach to the project team.

What is Lean Six Sigma? Lean Six Sigma is a business philosophy focusing on breakthrough improvement and incorporates Lean Manufacturing tools with Six Sigma methodologies. Lean Six Sigma focuses on reducing variability in a process. In a service or manufacturing environment, a Lean Six Sigma process would be virtually defect free. In one million operations of a process, Six Sigma allows only 3.4 defects. Most companies operate at three sigma, which allows 66,807 defects per million opportunities.
