FAQ's

What is Lean Six Sigma?

Lean Six Sigma is a methodology for continuous improvement. It helps improve how we work, the processes we follow, and the services we provide. It starts with the customer in mind and aims to balance increased efficiency with improved quality, using systematic, data-driven changes.

Why “Lean” and “Six Sigma”?
