Lean Six Sigma: What it is and why you’ll want to use it on your next project [June 2019]

In 1997, Jeff Kearns completed his first project using the Lean Six Sigma methodology. He hasn’t looked back.

From projects as varied as reconfiguring a buoy maintenance facility and optimizing the cost of manufacturing compressed air purification systems to finetuning a company’s quarterly forecasting process and reducing the lead time to responding to customer requests for quotations, Jeff has found that the Lean Six Sigma methodology never fails him or his clients in finding solutions to problems, and most importantly, fixing them. Maybe it’s time for you to try it too!
