Process Improvement - Cost Savings - Career Advancement

In today' s competitive business environment, productivity improvements are not an option. With ever-increasing customer expectations, a structured approach to both business performance analysis and the application of effective cost and performance techniques is critical to achieving success. Based on Lockheed Martin's tradition of process excellence and continuous process improvement, teamed with Rutgers University's long standing reputation for education excellence, we proudly introduce this innovative learning combination of lean process philosophy and Six Sigma quality tools presented in a blended-learning format of live classroom instruction with best in class computer based training (CBT) courses.
