Lean Revisions provides Lean Operations Management training and consulting using the DMAIC methodology to help organizations optimize systems, processes, people, and procedures for greater efficiency, cost reduction, gain customer loyalty, and growth.
Engagements have been within over 35 industries including manufacturing, services, healthcare, finance, technology, gaming and hospitality, education, the public sector and other organizations that want to improve quality, reduce waste, and build a culture of continuous improvement.
The firm emphasizes hands‑on training, consulting and long term support and direct alignment with organizational KPIs, and culture change, combining integrity, engaging facilitation, and sustainability so improvements become part of day‑to‑day operations rather than one‑time events.
Core offerings include Lean and Six Sigma training, on‑site and remote consulting, Gemba Walk Discovery including COPQ analysis, value stream reviews, DMAIC project coaching, and support for building or revitalizing continuous improvement programs.
The approach follows three stages: Review (observe the workplace and value stream, talk with employees and leaders), Revise (identify and prioritize projects aligned to KPIs and strategy), and Optimize (train, coach teams, or bring in a team to execute projects to sustain and expand improvements).
Projects begin with discovery sessions and on‑site or virtual observations to understand goals, constraints, and culture, then training, tools, and project charters are tailored to your industry, maturity level, and strategic priorities.
DMAIC stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control, a structured problem‑solving approach used in Lean Six Sigma to identify root causes, implement targeted solutions, and maintain performance gains over time.
Lean focuses on eliminating waste, improving flow, and engaging people closest to the work, and by training leaders and teams to use these methods daily, improvements become embedded in processes and management routines.
Yes, services include assessing your current state, defining a roadmap, training champions and Yellow/Green Belts, and supporting early projects that demonstrate quick, meaningful wins to build momentum.
Workshops cover Lean fundamentals, problem‑solving with DMAIC, Cost of Poor Quality Analysis (COPQ-A), value stream mapping, visual management, standard work, and Lean leadership, using breakouts, simulations, videos, and real‑world case work to match different learning styles.
Workshops and coaching can be delivered on‑site at your location, fully remote, or in a hybrid format, depending on your team’s location, schedule, budget, and preferences.
Courses are designed to build skills aligned with industry‑recognized Lean Six Sigma certifications such as ASQ, IASSC, and other industry recognized certifying bodies. Certification is received after participants have successfully completed Lean/Six Sigma Belt level training, and successful improvement project requirements.
Typical outcomes include shorter lead times, reduced defects and rework, lower operating costs, return on investment (ROI), better use of resources, customer retention and loyalty, and stronger employee engagement, all linked to your KPIs and strategic operational goals.
The work includes coaching leaders, building standard work and visual controls, and establishing simple routines to monitor performance so improvements are owned by internal teams rather than external consultants.
Facilitation emphasizes team dynamics, listening, transparency, and collaboration, helping leaders model desired behaviors and giving employees practical tools to participate in problem‑solving, not just follow new procedures.
Topics often include building a continuous improvement culture, practical DMAIC success stories, Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ), leadership for Lean transformation, and real‑world lessons from implementing Lean in different industries.
