Participants will be provided hands-on exercises to make sure they understand the step-by-step approach of Lean Six Sigma projects starting from problem identification to root cause validation, solution generation, and documentation of the entire project in a professional way. With Industry 4.0, new applications such as Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Machine Learning, AR/VR/Metaverse with Unity, Cloud Computing, the Internet of Things, 3D printing, Autonomous Robotics, Drones, Electric vehicles, and more are emerging in a fast pace. However, to use these complex applications, industries use Lean Six Sigma tools and techniques to optimize and streamline processes and stabilize them.
CENTRE FOR PROCESS EXCELLENCE:
LEAN & SIX SIGMA
Under the initiative of the Campus to Corporate Program, the Facilitation center must set up a “Centre for Process Excellence: Lean & Six Sigma” on their campus.

WHAT IS LEAN SIX SIGMA
Lean Six Sigma in simple terms is a scientific approach and methodology for process improvement. By imparting LSS skillsets, we would like to enable our graduates and postgraduate students to understand that, every real-time industrial project is nothing but a set of actions, taken to improve an existing process, using a step-by-step methodology, and by using appropriate tools and techniques to deliver sustainable and better results within the planned timeline. “Process Improvement” is the key to improving business results in any organization. Hence, industries train their employees and managers regularly on tools and techniques of Quality Control, Management, Problem-Solving, Decision making, Project Management, Team Management, Communication Management, etc. to ensure they deliver results from every single project that focuses on “Process Improvement”
Hence Six Sigma can be used in the following manner

- For researchers, it is a Hypothesis Testing and a set of tools and techniques for data-driven and fact-based decision-making
- For working professionals, it provides the skills to ensure they grow on the corporate ladder faster.
- For entrepreneurs and organizations, it is an approach to achieving
- Operational Excellence
