AI Enhanced Intro to Lean Six Sigma 

AI and LSS thinking are a powerful combination. This training is designed to introduce students to the principles of LSS with the use of AI tools to accelerate, enhance, and augment decision-making and Continuous Improvement (CI) impact.
Students will gain insight that provides a basis to improve competitiveness, throughput, quality, and on-time delivery of products through the use of Lean techniques.
This Lean 101 simulation will demonstrate the impacts of Lean execution in the factory and provide an understanding for expanding the use of AI to enhance LSS techniques.

Approach and Deliverables

PICS Services Lean Delivery Engineer, supported by Mid-Hudson MEP support staff, will conduct one full-day seminar that combines classroom presentation with hands-on simulation.
The seminar will introduce the basic concepts of LSS enhanced with Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools that augment LSS outcomes. Students will review the practical use of these tools and methodology to implement LSS in their workplace.
The training will also consist of three (3) presentations immediately followed by three (3) simulations.
