Lean Six Sigma - Innovative Safety Management
Webinar - Wednesday, February 27, 2008 - 11am-12:30pm CST
Imagine. The same organizational systems that drive efficiency and quality are applied to the safety process. Your safety goals are aligned with business objectives - creating a linkage between resource needs and allocation.
Well imagine no more. Lean Six Sigma addresses the needs of your organizational stakeholders AND creates a holistic and integrated approach to managing safety. The result is that the process creates innovative solutions that not only meet but exceeds the organizational and business expectations.
Lean Six Sigma combines the use of data to drive improvement. It also streamlines internal processes and procedures to maximize efficiency. It is attuned to the need to produce high quality, rapid delivery at minimal cost. Lean Six Sigma provides safety with a real framework for integrating safety into operations.
