You learn to use basic tools and techniques of lean six sigma by using simulation games. You can analyse and solve problems with Lean Six Sigma methods and tools. You also can do systematic development work in business process via six sigma DMAIC-method. We will have a LEAN Game challenge given in the beginning, which you will develop during the course. Each week we will meet and we play a LEAN game to demonstrate the effect of development into the key business processes.
