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.

I also recommended checking out the Root Cause Analysis course, where you can learn about the 6 M's

You can sign up for the course at https://www.leansixsigmaecosystem.com/c/advanced-root-cause-analysis/ ⁠
