What do you like about this subject?  Lean and Six Sigma are becoming more and more popular in US industries. I enjoy helping businesses become more profitable while avoiding huge CapEx purchases. I especially enjoy helping turn around companies and Lean Six Sigma startup companies.
Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:  Lean Six Sigma can be manipulated to conform to any industry or project.
Something controversial or provocative about this subject  In the future, industry rivalry will be decided on who has the best supply chain.
