About this book


The Lean Six Sigma Workshop describes important and practically relevant methods and tools for optimizing industrial production structures. In addition to theoretical foundations, the book provides extensive hands-on exercise materials with solutions for each method, ensuring application-oriented knowledge transfer. The book particularly assists educators and learners in preparing and conducting entire teaching units, which can be deepened and practically applied through 13 workshops as group activities.

The playful application of theory over multiple game rounds enables learners to use the methods in practice and apply gained insights in an industrial setting.
