In just a few short years, Lean Six Sigma has become a vital application to the US military and Department of Defense-associated industries. Wasted resources have been freed and repair costs and time have been lowered, increasing efficiency and slashing spending.

Demonstrating what works and does not work in actual military practice, presenting case studies of specific projects, Lean Six Sigma for Defense - San Diego addresses the keys to successful and sustainable organizational transformation through Lean Six Sigma implementation.

New for Lean Six Sigma for Defense 2008

Overcoming the most common barriers to successful Lean Six Sigma implementation:

Moving from a need to know to a need to share environment
Creating ownership & transforming culture
Maintaining existing process improvements
Translating successful civilian techniques into military supply chains

Lean Six Sigma for Defense - San Diego is a forum focusing on the evolving roles, methodologies and requirements of LSS within developing directorates and programs. The audience will be comprised of senior level professionals from all related military units and civilian providers.
