The Proper Application of Lean Six Sigma in Supply Chain Management

This talk discusses why these programs fail and what can be done to make them successful while avoiding the problems.

The Use of Design Thinking with Lean Six Sigma
Description: The Lean Six Sigma programs can be powerful process improvement techniques. However, they have been shown not to support Ideation.

This has shown not only to increase the number of alternative solutions but result in more effective solutions.
