Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is at the heart of our Operational Excellence strategic pillar, and was first introduced back in 2009.

Each year, over 100,000 hours of training is completed through a variety of different training methods, which focus on leadership development, safety, Lean Six Sigma concepts, technical and operational skills, sustainability and ethics and compliance. Our key development opportunities include nomination-based leadership programs (such as NextGen, Emerging Leaders and Elevate), foundational leadership training for all current or aspiring people managers, called Core Leadership, and Lean Six Sigma training at a variety of levels, where individuals can be certified for job-specific Lean Six Sigma programs, up through Master Black Belt certification. We also focus on development for our production associates in aspects of Lean Six Sigma, safety, continuous improvement, and our ENGAGE program.

Operationally, we continued to invest in our Lean Six Sigma (LSS) program, simply because it continued to improve our business and customer service levels.
