What are the benefits of Lean Six Sigma? You may have heard of a Lean Six Sigma certification—but do you know how it can help you?

Lean Six Sigma is a methodology that people in many different industries use to improve their processes and ultimately increase customer satisfaction and provide better working experiences for employees. Earning a Six Sigma certification from Nexus at Michigan Engineering could benefit you in many ways.

1. BETTER UNDERSTAND AND FULFILL YOUR CUSTOMER’S NEEDS


Your goal is to serve your customers, both internal and external. With the Lean Six Sigma methodology, you gain tools to increase value for your customer and to ensure their needs are met. Nexus offers Lean Six Sigma programs that focus on a variety of industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, and transactional/service.

2. IMPROVE THE EMPLOYEE EXPERIENCE


While serving customers is the ultimate goal, that is only one advantage of completing Lean Six Sigma projects. You can improve your existing processes so employees have a better and more efficient experience while doing the work. You can aim toward creating a work environment where everything runs smoothly.

3. INCREASE PROFITABILITY


Every company’s basic goal is to be profitable. By identifying and eliminating waste and defects in your processes, you become more efficient and may increase capacity, ultimately increasing profit.

4. EXPAND YOUR PROBLEM-SOLVING TOOLBOX


When you encounter problems, it can be difficult to find unique solutions to ensure that the root cause of the problem is addressed. With Six Sigma tools, you can effectively use data to analyze and solve problems and implement Lean concepts as countermeasures.

5. ADVANCE YOUR CAREER


Whether you want to take initiative in your current role or step into a more challenging position, a Six Sigma certification from the University of Michigan is highly respected. Employers know that you have the tools for sustained improvement that can help the company grow.
