What Are Lean and
6-Sigma Programs?

Modern multinational businesses almost all use the guiding principles of the Lean, Kaizen and Six-Sigma philosophies to create shorter lead times, quality and growth.

Yet these three points are equally applicable to any size of business, from small services businesses like electricians to national construction and manufacturing companies and will effectively result in growth and dependable revenue streams.

LEAN
The objective of Lean is to reduce waste by implementing specific strategies at the workplace or factory. Eight types of waste are targeted, each of which reduces profits and customer trust in the business. Knowing these is as good as eradicating waste from your production line.

SIX-SIGMA
The objective of Six-Sigma is the overall improvement of production quality by reducing defects and manufacturing variability. This is achieved by using proven quality control systems to identify and improve sub-par machinery and processes. The Six-Sigma course is generally targeted at a managerial level, as this is where projects that improve performance over time are managed.

Lean Six-Sigma
By combining the principles of Lean and Six-Sigma, a synergistic philosophy is created that dramatically increases productivity, reduces waste and improves customer satisfaction. This, in turn, leads to better profits and happy workers.

Improve Capacity Without Increasing Overheads with
Happier, Cohesive Teams

Investing in building Lean and Continuous Improvement capability in your team or business has many benefits:

  • Teams are more engaged and less frustrated because their work is safer, easier and more interesting

  • Quality of service and products improves as teams become more engaged in problem-solving together

  • Only working on what's important allows teams to be consistently faster and smarter, without the stress and risks of 'working harder'.

  • Profitability and sustainability improve, with greater capacity to grow and a focus on managing costs through quality and workplace organisation, whilst keeping overheads low.

We are super proud of our Makoto Member Capability Program members, like Clarence, who put into practice everything we coach. See his story above.

LEAN 6-SIGMA Programs

Develop select people in your business by engaging them in our Lean Six-Sigma YELLOW, GREEN, & BLACK BELT Programs.

Our purpose is to empower people to build capabilities within their team and company. By implementing Lean practices that facilitate continuous improvement, people will drive their own improvements, independently.

So how do we do this? We put the power in the hands of your people. We provide structured learning pathways and intensive group, or 1:1 coaching. With knowledge of why and how to improve, participants are able to conduct improvements themselves and retain knowledge in your business.

Advance Your Business Through Lean 6-Sigma Training Perth

Building your business into a profitable and sustainable venture takes considerable grit and savvy. Consistent sales and satisfied customers are no longer enough to sustain a business because competition is fierce.

The moment you think you can rest on your laurels, your competitor will overtake you. The pressure to find new revenue and make better margins from existing customers leaves you anxiously looking for ways to improve until you realise that Lean Six-Sigma training in Perth is the clear answer.

Create An Advantage

Engaging management and employees in the Lean Six Sigma doctrine of productivity and quality control will reap benefits for your business. As soon as staff and executives understand how they can improve business output through increased customer and inter-company interaction, they will strive towards implementing Lean Six Sigma on all levels.

We offer extensive training courses in Lean Six-Sigma, with the following benefits:

  • All courses are presented as structured learning pathways, beginning with introductory courses and culminating in the prestigious and professional Lean Six Sigma “Black Belt” certification.

  • One-to-one, on-site coaching is provided for advanced tier students. This allows the coach to focus intensively on your particular business requirements and challenges, thereby drawing a clear line between theory and practice.

Consider A Lean Six-Sigma Consultant

SMEs that can benefit from specific training are often excluded in the business world because they are labelled as “too small”. This is especially true for owner-operated businesses such as local manufacturing shops and services businesses, where attendance of courses also means a halt to production.

In such cases, we offer a Lean Six-Sigma consultancy service in Perth.

  • We have access to diverse “Black Belt” consultants who can assist your particular niche enterprise with achieving the best results. This is a practical application based on sound knowledge and insights instead of generic “solutions” offered by other types of business consultants and training organisations.

  • We engage with your workforce for objective inputs and doable solutions. The strategy is based on inclusion, insights and personal upliftment. This results in more efficient task completion, less production waste and higher quality end-products for your customers.
