LSS Bursts Podcast

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.

E139: Six Common Types of Process Improvement Projects for Lean Six Sigma Certification
byBrion Hurley

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

  1. Improve Quality
  2. Reduce Speed and Time
  3. Reduce Cost and Consumption of Resources
  4. Reduce Risk
  5. Improve Capacity and Flow
  6. 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/
