Continuous improvement (Lean Management & Six Sigma) (in-company)

Every organisation is busy. But not every organisation is effective. In this in-company programme we help you see what truly adds value, reduce waste and errors, and build a practical improvement rhythm that holds in day-to-day work. Less fire-fighting. More control.

Who is this for?

  • Entrepreneurs, directors and leadership teams who want more grip on performance

  • Operations, production, logistics, planning, service and office processes

  • Team leads, QHSE and key roles who need faster improvement in quality, safety, lead time or cost

What do you get out of it?

 

  • Clear view on waste and bottlenecks (flow, handovers, waiting time, defects)

  • Practical Lean tools you actually use (no “tool theatre”)

  • Basics of Six Sigma thinking: variation, causes and fact-based improvement

  • A prioritised improvement backlog with owners

  • A simple rhythm for follow-up and embedding (30–90 days)

 

How it works

  1. Intake (30–45 min) — where does performance leak and what must be different in 90 days?

  2. Observe the process (Gemba) — make work visible: waste, variation and constraints

  3. Training & practice (2 days) — Lean fundamentals + practical exercises on your cases

  4. Action & embedding — priorities, owners, standards and visual steering

  5. Optional follow-up — 30/60/90 check-in to lock it in

Practical

 

  • Format: in-company (on-site or off-site)

  • Duration: 2 days

  • Group size: 6–12 participants

  • Output: improvement backlog + priorities + owners + steering rhythm agreements

  • Investment: on request

 

FAQ

Lean vs Six Sigma — what’s the difference?

Lean focuses on flow and waste; Six Sigma focuses on reducing variation and root causes. Together they create stable improvement.

 

Is this only for manufactering

No. It works for logistics, planning and office processes as well.

 

Do we need a lot of data?

Not necessarily. We start with observing and measuring what matters. Small and sharp beats a data project.

Is this a belt certification training?

No. This is an in-company programme focused on application and embedding in your context.

How do you make it stick?

Owners, standards and rhythm: clear follow-up and simple steering.

Can you link this to leadership and culture?

Yes. Improvement only works when behaviour, accountability and decision-making move with it.
