While Rapid Action Tools have application in any Lean Six Sigma Project setting, their core strength is with small, 60-day teams where the focus is on execution. Tested through more than 5,000 applications across industry and government settings, the Rapid Action Team Process is without peer in its ability to mobilize individuals for effective teamwork and action.
The Rapid Action Team Process also reinforces Lean Six Sigma thinking by using key principles (focus on the customer, use facts and data, eliminate process waste, etc.) but in a way that encourages participation and contribution by non-Belt employees.

The Productive Path to Employee Engagement in Lean Six Sigma
The Rapid Action Process can be deployed to accelerate complex DMAIC projects at the I & C steps or on a stand-alone basis to capture quick wins and replicate solutions.
The Rapid Action Toolkit:
Lean Six Sigma Results Acceleration "In-a-Box"
The Rapid Action Toolkit provides everything a Belt or Non-Belt needs to apply Rapid Action Discipline to Lean Six Sigma projects - whether a complex DMAIC statistical project, deployment of a Lean best practice such as 5S, or executing a Quick Win project.
The Rapid Action Process:
The Productive Path to Employee Engagement in Lean Six Sigma
The harsh reality is that most line managers and employees are too busy doing their jobs to make data and analysis-reliant improvements happen. This time constraint is the reason for investing in dedicated Belts to attack complex improvement projects.
Sustainable improvement is impossible, however, without engaging process owners and operators. And, when projects drag on and results are not experienced, motivation to change is diminished if not lost with these critical stakeholders – a barrier even the most compelling data and analysis can’t overcome.
The Rapid Action Process breaks the "Time Barrier" to better Lean Six Sigma ROI by equipping Belts with tools for reducing project cycle times and for efficiently engaging managers and employees where they make the biggest contribution … developing, testing and implementing solutions!
