Course Overview
Lean Six Sigma is a proven combination of tools and techniques that has been
used by leading organizations to improve efficiency, productivity and customer
satisfaction. It achieves this by providing a rigorous and structured
methodology and team approach to problem solving which leads to quality and
performance improvements.
Our Lean Six Sigma Black Belt workshop is an eight (8) day programme designed to
develop Lean Six Sigma Green Belts into Black Belts, qualifying them to become
agents of change within an organization, enhancing their current skills, by
developing a thorough understanding of the DMAIC methodology and its
applications, to manage a culture of problem solving and continuous improvement
in your organization. It therefore allows key personnel to support your
company’s larger goals and objectives. It is suited to those who will have a
company-wide role in Six Sigma, including the deployment of the methodology,
project selection work, and leadership responsibilities. The course uses a blend
of theory and practical exercises to ensure that delegates have the confidence
and capability to identify opportunities for improvement and lead in the
delivery of more complex business improvement projects and transformations.
Black Belts can develop individual projects, or they can engage in a macro Black
Belt project which can incorporate several Green Belt projects as support. The
tools acquired during training will enable them to solve more challenging
problems and use team dynamics to lead improvement teams towards the
implementation of change within the organization.
Key topics covered at Green Belt level are refreshed, focusing on how to use
data to pinpoint processes that need to be analysed and improved using the Six
Sigma Tool sets, with a view to problem solving, increasing operational
efficiency, improving productivity and customer satisfaction and the company’s
overall business results. In addition, subjects dealt with in the Black Belt
course include project mandate preparation, team leadership and facilitation
techniques, as well as project management skills. On the data analysis side,
Statistical analysis plays a major part of this course. Means to deal with
non-normal data are considered, there are also sections on probability, the
binomial and Poisson distributions, and multiple factor analysis. Design of
experiments is also considered – this is a structured approach to
experimentation to help determine which inputs are important in a process.
Our Lean Six Sigma Black Belt programme incorporates a project to be undertaken
in your own organization during and after the training modules. This allows you
to apply the tools, in your own working environment, to processes that are known
to you, making the training relevant, and also leaving a improvement with
measurable results in your organization. MINITAB (trial version can be
downloaded free) and Excel software are used by participants during the training
sessions and to complete their projects.
