Linking Lean-Six Sigma to Financial, Quality and
Environmental Management Systems,
and Information Technology

Dr. Sandford (Sandy) Liebesman
Sandford Quality Consulting LLC

Lean and Six Sigma are two programs aimed at improving the quality of an organization's operations and impacting the financial results of an organization. Both concentrate on customer satisfaction and improved business performance.

In this presentation Dr. Sandford Liebesman will look at how Lean-Six Sigma (LSS) links to financial management, ISO standards 9001 and 14001 and information technology. The projects implemented as part of the LSS program generate value to the customer and to the organization. However, they cannot operate in a vacuum. They require effective financial, quality, environmental, and other management systems. On the other hand, these management systems can be greatly improved by using LSS to provide valuable changes which in most cases, if implemented correctly, result in positive effects to the organization's bottom line.
