LEAN SIX SIGMA TRAINING GUIDES

Flevy is the leading provider of premium business documents. Our documents are of the same caliber as those produced by top tier consulting firms, like McKinsey, Bain, Accenture, BCG, and Deloitte. Most of our documents were developed by seasoned executives and consultants with 20+ years of experience.

Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is a set of management methodologies and business frameworks based on the thinking of a collaborative team effort to improve business performance by systematically removing non-value add activities (i.e. "waste"). Lean Six Sigma, as the name implies, combines the management philosophies of Lean Management (also known as Lean Manufacturing and Lean Enterprise) and Six Sigma to eliminate the 8 types of waste: Over-production, Waiting, Rework, Transportation, Inventory, Motion, Over-processing, and Intellect.

At Flevy, we have numerous LSS business training guides. These documents have been developed by consulting firms specializing in Lean Six Sigma and Operational Excellence. On this page, our team has handpicked a number of these guides, organized into the following 5 sections (see tab names).

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

    "As a small business owner, the resource material available from FlevyPro has proven to be invaluable. The ability to search for material on demand based our project events and client requirements was great for me and proved very beneficial to my clients. Importantly, being able to easily edit and tailor the material for specific purposes helped us to make presentations, knowledge sharing, and toolkit development, which formed part of the overall program collateral. While FlevyPro contains resource material that any consultancy, project or delivery firm must have, it is an essential part of a small firm or independent consultant's toolbox."

    "I have used Flevy services for a number of years and have never, ever been disappointed. As a matter of fact, David and his team continue, time after time, to impress me with their willingness to assist and in the real sense of the word. I have concluded in fact that it is not at all just a repository of documents/resources but, in the way that David and his team manage the firm, it is like dealing with consultants always ready to assist, advise and direct you to what you really need, and they always get it right.

    I am an international hospitality accomplished senior executive who has worked and lived during the past 35 years in 23 countries in 5 continents and I can humbly say that I know what customer service is, trust me.

    Aside from the great and professional service that Flevy's team provide, their wide variety of material is of utmost great quality, professionally put together and most current.

    Well done Flevy, keep up the great work and I look forward to continue working with you in the future and to recommend you to a variety of colleagues around the world."
