Six Sigma Class For Mid-Size Manufacturers
As manufacturing makes its way back to American shores, more and more industry leaders are looking to make sure they maximize their productivity – and profitability.
To help Western North Carolina companies get and keep their competitive edge, the Asheville Center for Professional Studies has invited Doug Jones, one of the country’s leading Lean Six Sigma educators, to lead a Green Belt Lean Six Sigma Class.
Participants will engage with fellow manufacturers from non-competing firms, benefiting from collaborative in-person discussions. Notes Katherine Morosani, Director of the Asheville Center for Professional Studies, “We are creating a collaborative, highly participatory environment to maximize the Lean Six Sigma learning experience. Our attendees know that Lean Six Sigma is a major investment for their companies, and these are not skills you can absorb as effectively behind a computer screen with an on-line class or webinar.”
Results have proven that companies that employ a Lean Six Sigma process to their production have faster cycle times, higher efficiency, and leaner inventories, all leading to increased profitability. Kristopher Hinz, Corporate Process Improvement Manager, Global Operations for Smartrac Technology Group, a mid-size manufacturer in Henderson County, saw an immediate impact on his company.
Hinz was impressed with Doug Jones’s ability to deliver the content in an engaging format, stating, “Doug Jones is clearly a subject matter expert with Lean and Six Sigma methodologies. His experience in project coaching is valuable for any team, but especially so for a “rookie” group who may be new to these tools and techniques. His classroom experience is engaging, dynamic, and supremely effective. Sign up now for Doug’s training and coaching … before he decides to retire full-time!”
The first week of the three-week class begins Monday, September 22, with follow up classes November 3-7 and December 1-4.
