​We combine the most powerful aspects of Lean engineering philosophies with Six Sigma methods to deliver the right amount of high-quality products and services at the right time — with the least amount of effort and cost. Lean and Six Sigma are complementary and highly applicable to the transportation industry. While Lean focuses on eliminating non-value added steps and activities in a process, Six Sigma is about reducing variation from the remaining value-added steps. When carried out properly in tandem, they can produce unprecedented and lasting results — both internally at Transplace and for our customers.
