As a specialisation unit of BPM, it aims to develop learners’ knowledge about different process improvement methodologies and develop specific intermediate skills in solving real-world business problems. The unit addresses the key concepts, methods and techniques in LSS including inclusive design, and the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives on sustainability and waste. In particular, it focuses on introducing the Six Sigma approach known as DMAIC while incorporating the principles of Lean Management. The unit content is aligned with the universally accepted Lean Six Sigma Body of Knowledge for Green Belts, developed by the International Association for Six Sigma Certification.","title-full":"IFN654 Lean Six Sigma","title-short":"Lean Six Sigma","url":{"current":"https://qutvirtual4.qut.edu.au/group/student/enrolment/units/unit?unitCode=IFN654&year=2025","prospective":"https://www.qut.edu.au/study/unit?unitCode=IFN654","timetable":"https://qutvirtual3.qut.edu.au/qvpublic/ttab_unit_search_p.process_teach_period_search?p_unit_cd=IFN654"},"year":2025,"years":[2025]}
