Over 40 of the most common Lean Sigma tools are clearly define with a step-by-step approach, checklists, forms and worksheet examples, as well as case study examples from office/service (administrative), retail, healthcare, financial, travel services, and manufacturing. The broad examples will allow employees to fully understand the “practicality” and universal application these tools provide. Therefore, with that information, the ability to apply the tool or concept to their processes will be that much more successful.
