Hello, this is Erik Christensen from Las Vegas Lean Six Sigma - coming to you on a rainy day in Southern, California about
An hour outside of Las Vegas at a rare
elements mine, and behind me you can see this is the mine - very cool
I am out here, we just finished doing two - day, two- 4 hour courses on problem solving
and process improvement
It highlights that no matter what industry you are in, weather its healthcare, or service, or government
In the mining industry working on solving problems and improving processes is as applicable in mining
as it is in manufacturing as it is in any other en devour
I'd love to hear your thoughts on how process improvement works in your industry
Its kind of cold and kind of windy but it is really exciting being out here
from a Lean Six Sigma perspective most Black Belts don't get a chance to be a fully operational
rare earth mine. In particular because it is the only one in the United States of America
90% of rare earth element mining happens in China.
This is one of one for the continental United States and I am really proud to be part of this and be out here today.
Signing off to go get dry and warm, thanks for signing in and we'll see you in the Gemba. Take care
