QM - LEAN ENTERPRISE

A specific emphasis on waste reduction and throughput makes Lean Enterprise a bit different from predecessor quality programs.  An application of the Theory of Constraints, lean tinking focuses on reducing waste in and around processes, and in identifying and removing bottlenecks to throughput.  We teach clients to use these through processes and tools in conjunction with their other quality programs, such as Six Sigma.  Lean squeezes the waste out of a process, and then Six Sigma reduces variation in what is left of that process.  The combination is extremely powerful, and our training emphasizes that integration.

Lean IT Education

Much of the literature on Lean Enterprise focuses on making manufacturing processes leaner. It can be challenging to apply these principles to information technology projects and organizations. This series of courses decomposes and applies the lean principles to each distinct dimension of the information technology process set, including organizations, projects, systems, and processes.
