Altarum Institute’s focus on continuous performance improvement features the Lean Six Sigma approach. LSS is a continuous performance improvement methodology aimed at reducing waste and cutting lead time (Lean) while reducing variation and improving quality (Six Sigma). LSS is a balanced, people-focused methodology that can be implemented at all levels and in any organization type to enable improved productivity and quality within a set time frame.
Our work includes value stream mapping and kaizen events utilizing just the right mix of LSS tools, as well as mentoring to continue your own improvement efforts after we leave. We help clients prepare their leadership for Lean, create and develop internal staff, train staff members in Lean thinking, and facilitate successful change projects. We also teach clients how to use the A3 problem-solving process to develop leaders at all levels.
Altarum’s expert LSS analysts develop a thorough understanding of a client’s data program mission and values to help them select, implement, and monitor optimum solutions. Our broad LSS implementation experience ranges from the government, military, and health care organizations to large multinational corporations. Altarum’s experts are on the staff of leading LSS certification programs and are certified LSS Master Black Belts or Lean Masters.
