In the Improve stage of the Six Sigma DMAIC process, you will use the Lean and Lean Six Sigma tool set to find ideas to help facilitate business process improvement. That will help you resolve process problems that you've identified in an earlier stage. And this in turn will help drive process improvement, process control, and process design. In this course, you'll learn about the key tools, such as cycle-time reduction, continuous flow, setup reduction, kaizen, kaizen blitz, and other Lean tools, that lead to continuous improvement. The course is aligned with ASQ's 2015 Six Sigma Green Belt Body of Knowledge.
