Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering - Lean Six Sigma

Rochester Institute of Technology

RIT’s Lean Six Sigma option in industrial engineering BS teaches data-driven methods to improve processes, reduce waste, and deliver measurable results. Lean Six Sigma focuses on improving processes by combining Lean principles that reduce waste with Six Sigma methods that reduce variation and defects. You’ll explore lean manufacturing engineering and lean systems engineering approaches to improving processes, production systems, and organizational performance. In this option, you’ll build on the broad foundation of industrial engineering while gaining specialized knowledge in structured problem solving, process analysis, production systems, quality improvement, and experimental design. From improving manufacturing flow and reducing defects to streamlining service operations, strengthening supply chains, and designing better experiments, Lean Six Sigma helps engineers apply Six Sigma methods in engineering design to create systems that are efficient, reliable, measurable, and continuously improving.
