What is Lean Six Sigma?

Guest Blogger – GoLeanSixSigma.com
Are you tasked with solving problems at your nonprofit but struggle to accomplish fixing them?
What if there was a five step method that allowed you to not only solve your problems, but improve processes and remove unnecessary waste along the way?
Well – there is – and it’s called Lean Six Sigma!
It’s a combination of two powerful process improvement methods:
Lean and Six Sigma.
Lean Six Sigma decreases your nonprofit’s costs by:
- Removing “Waste” from a process. Waste is any activity within a process that isn’t required to provide a service, or to manufacture a product that meets defined quality standards.
- Solving problems caused by a process. Problems are issues with a service or product that cost your organization money.
