Lean Six Sigma Bursts

We share our takes and thoughts on a variety of topics related to process improvement (specifically Lean and Six Sigma methods), Bursts are rapid improvement activities, so this sounded like a good word to use for these short audio clips. We’ll try to keep them under 5 minutes each.

In this episode, I summarize 6 different types of projects you can use for a Lean Six Sigma certification

Improve Quality
Reduce Speed and Time
Reduce Cost and Consumption of Resources
Reduce Risk
Improve Capacity and Flow
Improve Experience and Satisfaction Ratings

I also share examples of each across 4 industries: Manufacturing, Office, Government and Healthcare

You can also read about these 6 types by going to https://greenbeltcertification.com/2026/05/17/common-types-of-process-improvement-projects-for-lean-and-six-sigma-certification-programs/

I also mentioned that there are a long list of project ideas by industry and department, which can be found at https://www.biz-pi.com/lean-and-six-sigma-project-ideas/
