The pursuit of quality can significantly improve the products and services offered by an organisation. We'll introduce you to the seven quality tools that help identify, analyse and fix issues to make a process economical and more efficient. Lean management allows you to perform better, more streamlined and efficient procedures while minimising disruption to day-to-day operations. On the other hand, Six Sigma is a structured problem-solving methodology used to improve the performance of a process. You'll learn how to use Six Sigma principles to identify variations and reduce them to achieve Lean management in a process. You'll explore the different cost and time-saving opportunities involving workers, materials and procedures. In addition, we'll show you how to separate value-adding from non-value-adding steps and find ways to add maximum value.

Process maps are visual representations that you want to analyse and improve. You'll discover the benefits of mapping waste, removing it and maximising opportunities. You'll explore different process mapping tools that you can use to characterise the operation, indicate the balance of time and represent the overall cycle time. Physical waste needs to be handled as part of the Lean management approach to maximise the output of a process and reduce cost. You will learn about commonly occurring waste in a workspace and diagrams to identify and remove it. The instructor, Robert Chapman, will present a case study from his work experience to help you reduce waste and inefficiencies and improve the process's overall performance.
