Room for Improvement: Vasco Cachaco, Xaar plc

Making an impact in the role of a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt

Hear from Vasco Cachaco, Principle Six Sigma Process Champion at Xaar plc, the world’s leading independent manufacturer of piezo-based drop-on-demand inkjet technologies. Experienced in the role of a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, Vasco talks about being inspired by the challenge of applying Lean Six Sigma tools and techniques. Vasco explores how he uses Lean Six Sigma tools to develop new ways of working and embed them in a new environment. During the interview he explains how they have automated the visualisation of metrics and process monitoring to save time on less value-added activities. This means the team can get straight to decision making and improving the business.

If like Vasco, you want to use a methodology to start collaborating with others to do much bigger projects, perhaps transformational projects, then explore PMI’s Lean Six Sigma Black Belt course.
