These 34 associates will begin their eight-week Lean training in June. Craig Miller, MBA, CSSBB, director of continuous improvement, coordinates KANE's Lean Six Sigma training program. According to Miller, in 2014 more than 150 KANE leaders, including the entire management team, will complete training programs in both the Six Sigma and Lean methods and tools. "KANE is an ISO-compliant company that has long used the best techniques from Lean and Six Sigma in its operations," says Miller.
