To run an effective business, you have to be a good steward of your company’s resources. To that end, many companies have embraced the Lean Six Sigma method to improve their efficiency and overall effectiveness – but that doesn’t mean that only large companies with many employees and complex processes can benefit from these teachings.
Infusing a few Lean concepts into your daily life and the lives of your employees can be just the shot in the arm you and your business need, so we sit down with Lesley Mast, a principal and current director of tax services here at Rea. As a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, Lesley has incorporated many key Lean concepts into her daily workload, and she’s going to share a few of her secrets with us.
What is Lean Six Sigma?
Former guest Kyle Stemple previously wrote about the value of Lean Six Sigma, and he describes it as a continuous improvement methodology and management tool designed to help you increase operational efficiency and capacity, improve processes and quality, and increase profits. Above all, Lean Six Sigma leverages subject matter experts within your business to ensure that the “voice of your customers” is satisfied by the “voice of your processes.”
