Lean Six Sigma Bursts

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 podcast, I share the results of a ”Lean at Home” project I performed within the last year as part of a training and certification program I piloted with my friends and family.

The project successfully reduced our storage costs per month by over 50%, and then 100% within the past few weeks!

You can download the project summary here: http://www.leansixsigmahomes.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Lean-at-Home-Project-Storage-Unit-2024.pdf

If you have an example, please share it with me on LinkedIn.

Go to LeanSixSigmaHomes.com to find many more examples of improvements at home using Lean and Six Sigma methods. You will also see the link to access the training and certification program for $49.
