  2. Why the GMOE Course? • You will gain a deeper understanding and practical, working knowledge of continuous improvement—focusing on lean and six sigma beyond the FY OPS course. • You will gain an appreciation for and insight into important implementation challenges and truly realize… • Learning Lean is about practice of improvement, not a theory • Lean is a system for visualizing and addressing waste • Six Sigma is a data-based methodology for complex problems • Both are a systems design and implementation challenge • Both are about developing people and stimulating their mind and heart • Few MBAs have this type of experience in School • Bottom line: You will be better prepared to contribute to your future organization’s path to excellence

  3. Learning Objectives At the end of this course, you will be able to… • Contribute to improvement-systems design. • Describe the need for lean and six sigma and the value they deliver to an organization. • Explain why managing the “thinking” aspects of lean and six sigma is important for your career. • Tell your stories about lean and six sigma in action. • Know how to identify opportunities for applying lean and six sigma in your work.
