Masters Degree Description

Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is a powerful methodology for achieving process efficiency and effectiveness which results in enhanced customer satisfaction and improved bottom line results. It aims to achieve improvements in the most economical manner possible and is focused on reducing waste in business processes.

This programme aims to develop high-calibre graduates with an in-depth understanding of strategic, tactical and operational issues.
