Lean Six Sigma Training
Most importantly, the Lean Six Sigma Methodology is well recognised all over the world in all industries to boost productivity, close performance gaps and develop talent. Hence, our Lean Six Sigma training helps build Process Excellence Competencies in this important methodology. An essential part of all the following trainings is the familiarisation with process mapping approaches.
Furthermore, we offer Data Analytics Training to complement the following Lean Six Sigma programmes:
Senior Management Briefing (0.5 – 1d)
This briefing is an essential session to deliver a broad, high-level executive summary. And, it serves to harmonise enterprise understanding of the topic. Consequently, it covers the benefits and how an organisation can maximise these benefits to deliver tangible bottom-line performance. Therefore, this course is acting as a platform to facilitate and establish clear project expectations during the initial stage. Hence, it creates organisational commitment at the senior management for better resource allocation. And, it is seen as a key success factor for a High Performing Organisation.
Workshop Outline
The following topics are part of the agenda, among others:
- The deployment plan for Lean Six Sigma,
- Best practices as well as Do’s and Don’ts,
- Toolbox of Lean Six Sigma,
- Sample projects to showcase tools in action,
- Role of senior management,
- Criteria for selecting Belt candidates and developing Process Excellence Competencies,
- Selection and scoping of high-impact projects.
Workshop Objective
This workshop provides a forum to align senior management business challenges to the desired outcome of the whole programme. Additionally, sharing other organisations perspectives creates an excellent opportunity to learn from others’ business success with an opportunity to make a difference. Ultimately, this briefing should bust some myths about Lean Six Sigma.
Lean Six Sigma Awareness Workshop (1 day)
Our Awareness Workshop is catered to everyone in the organisation to educate and to gain buy-in. The objective is to allow everyone to understand the principles and some awareness of the Lean Six Sigma Methodology and to be able to work as team members effectively.
COE’s Awareness Programme is designed to train a large number of staff to “Support the Change” or to enhance awareness of improvement projects. It serves to encourage staff to embrace the concept so that implementation will be smoother and easier.
Our Awareness Workshop is designed around our powerful CHL Business Simulation that makes learning impactful and fun.
Lean Six Sigma Training for Champions (1 – 3 days)
Our Champion Workshop is tailored for Senior Management groups who are partially new to Lean Six Sigma and who are charged to kick-off project work as well as to monitor and review projects in their own environment. The objectives of our Leadership Workshop are:
- Creating an understanding of the Lean Six Sigma methodology,
- Generating a basic knowledge about the application of Lean Six Sigma tools,
- Defining the role of Champions, Black and Green Belts and ways to developing Process Excellence Competencies,
- Identifying problem areas for the next wave of Black/Green Belts,
- Providing a Leaders Guide for selecting, monitoring and reviewing Lean Six Sigma Projects,
- Enabling the Leadership Team to make decisions about Green and/or Black Belt candidates.
As a result, our Champion Workshop is designed around our powerful CHL Business Simulation that makes learning impactful and fun.
Lean Six Sigma Training for Yellow Belts (2 days)
Our Yellow Belt Workshop is to equip participants with an understanding of the principles and some basic tools of Lean Six Sigma and Business Process Re-Engineering. After the workshop, you will be able to work effectively as part of a team on respective projects.
In this programme, Yellow Belts learn:
- Structured problem-solving methodology,
- Basic-level tools within the Lean Six Sigma methodology and
- How to work and apply it within a project.
Our Yellow Belt Workshop is designed around our powerful CHL Business Simulation that makes learning impactful and fun.
Lean Six Sigma Training for Green Belts (8 to 10 days)
Our Green Belt (GB) Programme provides participants with an overview of Lean Six Sigma as well as key concepts associated with effective project teams. With this, Green Belts receive a subset of the more comprehensive Black Belt curriculum, the Process Excellence Competencies.
Green Belts learn:
- Structured problem-solving methodology for addressing business improvement projects,
- Intermediate-level tools within that methodology,
- How to generate bottom-line financial results,
- Identifying and applying the necessary skills for organisational team learning,
- Appreciating the entire cycle of DMAIC, the Lean Six Sigma Methodology.
Lean Six Sigma Training for Black Belts (GB Course + 8 to 10 days)
Our Black Belts learn how to comprehend the methodology and its implications in managing improvements to processes in organisations. Consequently, our Black Belt programme provides a structured approach to incrementally build on the GB training with two objectives:
- To give Green Belts more in-depth knowledge of the tools they have covered during their previous training.
- To enrich their toolbox by the commonly known “Black Belt Tools”.
Hence, the standard training outline encompasses methodologies like detailed process analysis, graphical analysis, statistical analysis including hypothesis tests, regression, DOE and RSM. This programme takes eight to ten additional days after completing the Green Belt training cycle and helps deepen the Process Excellence Competencies.
Lean Six Sigma Training for Product/Process Redesign
Our DFSS (Design For Six Sigma) is about developing a new product or service that is defect free. Therefore, DFSS combines many of the tools for improving existing products or services and integrates voice of the customer and simulation methods to predict new process and product performance. Hence, this Lean Six Sigma training for new products is called Design for Six Sigma Training or DFSS Training.
And, our DFSS Training includes several elements of Design Thinking on top of the core modules of Lean Design.
Lean Six Sigma Training for Master Black Belts
Finally, our Master Black Belt Development programme helps outstanding Black Belts to grow into the challenging role of a Master Black Belt (MBB).
Building a Set of Process Excellence Competencies
As a result, MBB has multiple roles that require him to master the variety of Process Excellence Competencies shown in the framework here.
Workshop Outline
The following topics are part of the agenda, among others:
- Cross-Cultural Project Leadership emphasizes the importance of recognizing and approaching of cultural issues when dealing with cross-cultural Lean Six Sigma deployments in multinational companies.
- DFSS Basics gives an overview of the DFSS methodology for Process and Product Design. Following the IDOV, this module gives an overview of the IDOV approach and the important tools supporting DFSS.
- Due to the growing interest, we have included topics about the Integration of Initiatives. It covers topics such as ISO9000, MBQA, Lean Six Sigma, SQC/SQA etc. Hence, our training module shows ways illustrated by real cases on how to deal with this situation.
- Lean Basics gives an overview of the Lean and the Lean Six Sigma approach and focuses on major tools used in Manufacturing as well as Transactional/Service environments.
- Line Of Sight For Strategic Project Selection and Performance Management use a proven approach for making company strategies actionable by projecting it into processes and determining indicators that drive strategy. Bridging between Lean Six Sigma and Balanced Scorecard as well as building Dashboards are topics for discussion as well.
- Finally, Creativity and Innovation using Design Thinking and Creative Problem Solving tools enhance the quality of solutions of Lean Six Sigma projects.
Lean Six Sigma Training Certification
Furthermore, formal Lean Six Sigma certification has become a valuable credential in the marketplace. It illustrates that candidates have done more than merely completing the training. Hence, they have truly demonstrated comprehension and application of the Lean Six Sigma methodology, tools, and techniques.
In addition to our Belt programmes, we also offer the option of formal Belt certification. After completing the training programme, Belt candidates undergo an exam and demonstrate results on an improvement project and mastery of Process Excellence Competencies in order to be formally certified.
