Combine the power of AI and LSS to seize the competitive advantage—quickly, decisively, and permanently
Since 2001, business leaders have been using Lean Six Sigma (LSS) to drive improvements across industries, enabling their companies to reduce cycle time and waste, thus improving revenue and profits. Now they can finally unlock their company’s full potential by combining LSS and AI.
In Lean Six Sigma in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, the world’s most respected expert on LSS, Michael L. George, Sr., shows how to harness the power of the technology that promises changing everything as we know it—Artificial Intelligence—to dramatically enhance any LSS management program. This game-changing guide takes you through the process of using AI to unlock maximum speed, solve complex manufacturing challenges, reduce waste, increase company profits, and ultimately outflank your competition at every turn. With Lean Six Sigma in the Age of Artificial Intelligence, you’ll take this revolutionary approach to its limits—and that will make all the difference between business success and failure in the coming decades.
