Description
Regd. Education ProviderLean Six Sigma is an improvement methodology that effectively combines the principles and practices of Lean and Six Sigma. Six Sigma methodology identifies and removes the basic causes of error in any business process. It aims at minimizing variability and eliminating marginal methods that are used in traditional contexts.
