Applying Lean Six Sigma thinking to safety provides a framework for integrating safety into operations. Chris Mosby, Lean Manager at Topper Industrial, totally agrees. Mosby has been a Lean/Six Sigma trainer for more than twenty years in multi-faceted, fast paced manufacturing environments. Mosby’s experience includes management assignments in quality, production, logistics, healthcare, and maintenance/engineering.
