Focused Improvement Tools (FIT) constitute an Oriel STAT A MATRIX approach to Lean Six Sigma deployment that allows you to “jump start” or enhance your Lean Six Sigma program by isolating the application of rigorous statistical tools into stand-alone courses.
In contrast to traditional, multiple-week programs such as Black Belt training, FIT courses offer 2-3 days of in-depth training focused on mastering the specific Lean Six Sigma tool you need right away. This more focused approach allows individual practitioners to learn (or refresh) targeted skills that can be applied quickly to solve their process issues, and allows organizations to see a faster return on investment by breaking down big, bold objectives into smaller, more achievable chunks.
Benefits of the Focused Improvement Tools program include:
- Matches the right Lean Six Sigma tool with an organization’s specific needs.
- Allows organizations to accelerate deployment of the specific skills they need in order to streamline processes and enhance returns.
- Participants see a faster return on investment by focusing on their most needed Lean Six Sigma tool.
- For organizations already using Lean Six Sigma as a tool, offers an opportunity to brush up or delve deeper into specific important skills.
- Is an optimal starting place for employees who don’t have time for longer Lean Six Sigma courses.
- Courses can be taken on their own or bundled together in cost-saving packages.
