Besides the many specific questions about the application of Lean Management in organizations, we were interested, so Bernd Albrecht bsp;the today’s meaning of Six Sigma as methodology of the quality management, thereby the results are surprising:
- Six Sigma is for 204 participants not the only measure/method to get quality problems under control.

For 256 participants, further training on the subject of Lean Management is a matter of concern, only 80 participants attend further training courses at irregular intervals. In addition to seminars, workshops, literature or symposia, participants also prefer social media channels such as Twitter, Facebook or our blog “Lean Project Management” for further training.
