Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Course Flyer
Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is a well-known approach for achieving operational excellence that does more than simply improve production processes. LSS combines the process improvement benefits of Lean with the statistical process control (SPC) benefits of Six Sigma. It takes advantage of the “value-added” focus of Lean while maintaining the statistical rigors of Six Sigma. TechHelp offers Six Sigma information, training, and implementation assistance.
“Our goal is to be the best temperature sensor manufacturer in the world and Lean Six-Sigma is what the best companies in the world are doing. We’ll keep doing it and getting better; it’s a never-ending journey”

This course will provide you with the knowledge and skills required to conduct an internal audit program within your company. The course covers the fundamentals of auditing, useful industry-proven techniques, compliance criteria, how to foster good communication within the facility, the importance of auditor ethics, and gathering objective evidence, nonconformities, and reporting suggestions.
