FROM WASTE TO WINS: HOW LEAN SIX SIGMA DRIVES IMPACT ACROSS INDUSTRIES
IN CONVERSATION WITH DR. TRES BISHOP, FACULTY INSTRUCTOR – FAU EXECUTIVE EDUCATION
At Florida Atlantic University’s College of Business, Lean Six Sigma isn’t just theory — it’s a practical framework for leaders to identify inefficiencies, reduce waste, and create measurable impact across industries. We sat down with Dr. Tres Bishop, faculty expert and instructor for FAU Executive Education’s Lean Six Sigma Professional Development Programs (PDP), to discuss how this methodology helps professionals lead smarter, stronger, and more strategically.
Q&A
WITH DR. TRES BISHOP
Q: For those new to the concept, what exactly is Lean Six Sigma?
Q: What makes Lean Six Sigma so effective?
A: It’s structured problem-solving based on the scientific method. It removes guesswork and replaces opinion with data. It’s also people-driven — when implemented correctly, everyone in the organization has a voice in identifying problems and improving processes. That combination of rigor and collaboration is what makes it so powerful.
“LEAN SIX SIGMA TURNS COMPLEX PROBLEMS INTO MEASURABLE RESULTS.”
– DR. TRES BISHOP
A: Lean Six Sigma combines two powerful improvement methodologies — Lean, which focuses on eliminating waste, and Six Sigma, which reduces variation and defects. Together, they provide a structured, data-driven approach to solving problems efficiently and improving outcomes in any organization.
Q: Many assume Lean Six Sigma is only for manufacturing. How does it apply across industries?
A: That’s one of the biggest misconceptions. While it started in manufacturing, Lean Six Sigma can be applied anywhere — from healthcare and finance to government, hospitality, and education. Every organization has processes that can be improved. We’ve seen hospitals reduce emergency room wait times by 40%, local governments cut permitting delays in half, and universities streamline administrative workflows.
“EVERY ORGANIZATION HAS PROCESSES THAT CAN BE IMPROVED — LEAN SIX SIGMA GIVES YOU THE TOOLS TO MAKE IT HAPPEN.”
Q: How is FAU’s Lean Six Sigma program designed for today’s professionals?
A: We redesigned our program to reflect modern industry needs. We aligned with the Council for Six Sigma Certification (CSSC) for global recognition, restructured our content to focus on service-based industries, and added hands-on, gamified learning to keep participants engaged. It’s a rigorous but enjoyable way to learn tools that directly improve performance and career value.
Q: Why should professionals invest in Lean Six Sigma certification now?
A: Lean Six Sigma professionals are problem solvers — and that skill is always in demand. Whether the economy is booming or challenging, organizations need people who can improve efficiency, cut costs, and enhance customer experience. Earning your certification signals that you think critically, make decisions based on data, and drive measurable results.

“Since completing FAU’s Online MBA program, I’ve gained the confidence to combine my career experience with new skills and pursue opportunities I once thought were out of reach. This growth directly led to securing a new position I might not have applied for before.
A memorable highlight of my time at FAU was participating in a study abroad program, which enriched my experience far beyond what I expected.
My advice to anyone considering the program is simple: just start. Once you do, the momentum you build—and the opportunities that follow—will truly surprise you.”
