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. Structure of the Course This 8-day training programme is divided into three modules as follows:  * Define / Measure Phase - 3 days from April 8th to 10th,  2024 * Analyse Phase - 3 days on May 13th to 15th, 2024 * Improve / Control Phase - 2 days on June 17th & 18th, 2024 A gap of 4 weeks between each module provides an opportunity for trainees to work on a project within their workplace, applying the methodology and tools learned during the previous module. Extra support can be provided between modules for each trainees with their project work. We provide a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Manual for all delegates, and a Certification is awarded upon completion of the Black Belt training and ONE project by each trainee in which the targeted outcomes have been achieved. An outcome report and/or project presentation which demonstrates the use of the tools and methodology is required. Cost: £2,200 + VAT per person. What is included * Eight days of face-to-face training delivered in 3 modules as detailed above * Project review and support for all participants during modules 2 & 3.  * Remote support available for the duration of the programme for trainees to consult with the trainer. * All training material, and a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Manual for all delegates * Refreshments and lunch provided each day of training * Free car park for all delegates * Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certificate In-house Option This workshop can also be delivered in-house as a stand-alone training workshop or integrated into wider improvement activities.
