Lean and Six Sigma are key process improvement methodologies and, like project management, focus on the triangle of time, cost and quality. Although the origins of Lean and Six Sigma are in the design and improvement of manufacturing processes, could the principles and tools play a part in achieving successful projects in any sector? could effective project management enhance the implementation, embedding and sustaining of continuous improvement initiatives? Does project management enable Lean Six Sigma or does Lean Six Sigma enable project management?
This interactive session will look at delegates’ and speakers’ experiences of Lean and Six Sigma and project management and light-heartedly and interactively explore which comes first. We will discuss how to integrate simple Lean and Six Sigma tools into projects, and how to make Lean and Six Sigma sustainable as part of a project. Whatever their previous level of exposure to Lean and Six Sigma, participants should gain some new insights to explore further and/or apply in their work.
