Course Overview

Lean and Six Sigma are globally recognized methodologies for achieving efficiency and quality in business and project management. Lean focuses on eliminating waste and maximizing value, while Six Sigma emphasizes reducing variation and defects. Combined, they provide a powerful toolkit for improving processes, optimizing resources, and delivering successful projects.

This Six Sigma and Lean Project Management Training Course enables participants to apply practical Lean and Six Sigma tools within project contexts. Through case studies, simulations, and group exercises, participants will learn how to analyze processes, identify inefficiencies, and implement data-driven improvements that drive performance and customer satisfaction.

By the end of the course, participants will be able to integrate Lean and Six Sigma principles into their project management approach to achieve greater reliability, quality, and efficiency.
