COE Hosts In-Box Simulation
Through out the past year, the COE, in conjunction with MoreSteam, has hosted SigmaBrew Inbox™ simulations for our member companies. During these innovative sessions, participants work through a unique email-based work process, that provides first-hand experience with Lean Six Sigma tools that mimics the current state of the “knowledge workplace.” SigmaBrew Inbox™ is completely online and effectively illustrates the use of Lean tools within an office environment including; takt time, work-in-process metrics, error-proofing, line balancing, standardized work, Little’s Law and Theory of Constraints.
