Achieving ROI with Lean Six Sigma

Six Sigma Zone shares a presentation by Abbott on how the company achieved a return of investment (ROI) through Lean Six Sigma.

One of the insights in the presentation is:

By clearly defining “value” for a specific product or service from the end customer’s perspective, all the non-value activities — or waste — can be targeted for removal step by step.
