What is Lean Black Belt training – blended learning?

Blended learning, also known as ‘mixed learning,’ fits perfectly with today’s trend of hybrid working. Many organisations already support employees to work from home as well as in the more traditional office setting.

 The Lean Black Belt training is an excellent example of such a blended learning approach, combining e-learning with classroom training. With this method, learning is divided between online and face-to-face sessions, giving you the flexibility to learn at your own pace and in your own comfortable environment.

What will you learn during the Lean Black Belt training?

During the classroom sessions, we focus on the practical application of team dynamics, emphasising the attitudes and behaviours within organisations, which are essential to the Lean philosophy. As well as teaching technical tools and techniques, we develop your leadership, facilitation and communication skills which are equally important for the success of your improvement projects. You will learn how to communicate effectively with various stakeholders, overcome resistance to change, and foster a culture of continuous improvement within your organisation.

In the e-learning modules, you will go through the phases of DMAIC. You will learn how to analyse problems, find sustainable solutions, facilitate workshops, and lead Brown Paper exercises. You will go through the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle and the five phases of Lean: Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, and Control (DMAIC):

1 –  Define: In this phase, you will learn to define a problem and determine its improvement potential. Topics covered include project selection, voice of the customer, Brown Paper exercises, risk management, project management, de Caluwé, MBTI, PDCA cycle, tollgates, SIPOC, storyboarding, project charters, facilitation, and team building.

2 – Measure: In this phase, you will learn how to visualise and describe a process flow, and how to create and analyse a value stream. Topics covered include Value Stream Mapping, Swimlane, MIFA, UDMO, measurement plan, and the eight wastes.

3 – Analyse: You will work with various Lean measurements and learn to analyse process performance. In this phase, you will delve into Lean measurements, Run Chart, Histogram, Control Chart, brainstorming, Ishikawa, workshopping, Pareto Chart, and 5 Times Why.

4 – Improve: You will learn how to actively involve team members in the implementation of improvements by connecting with day-to-day operations as a leader. You will learn to work with pilots, process simulations, Hoshin Kanri, and storytelling. How can you encourage project members to come up with ideas for potential solutions? Using impact analysis, you will learn to choose the best solution. You will also work with Kaizen, Kaikaku, TWI, Flow, Pull, SMED, Kanban, JIT, and TIMWOODS.

5 – Control: Achieving results is one thing but sustaining them is another challenge. You will address topics such as procedures, FMEA, RACI, 8D, Audit, daily and weekly start-ups, Visual Management, and coaching.

In addition to learning these techniques and tools, the training will also focus on softer skills such as leadership, team dynamics, and communication. These are equally as important for the success of your improvement projects as the technical tools and techniques. You will learn how to effectively communicate with various stakeholders, overcome resistance to change, and promote a culture of continuous improvement within your organisation.

Overall, the Lean Black Belt training will provide you with a comprehensive understanding of the Lean philosophy and enable you to effectively apply Lean principles and techniques in your work.

The merits of online learning:

Online learning is becoming increasingly popular due to the many benefits it offers. The flexibility it provides is unparalleled: you can study at a time to suit you, without having to commit to a fixed schedule. This is especially convenient for those people who have work, family or other

Online learning also allows you to learn at your own pace. You can process and understand the information in a way that matches your learning speed. If you are a fast learner, you don’t have to wait for others, and if you need extra time, you can take it.

Another significant advantage of online learning is the cost and time savings. Without travel expenses and with lower tuition fees compared to classroom courses, online learning is often more cost effective. Additionally, you save time that would otherwise be spent on travel or commuting. Additionally, we also offer classroom sessions where personal contact and interaction are possible.

This wouldn’t be balanced if we didn’t also address some of the challenges associated with online learning. While technological advancements have made timely communication much easier, the lack of direct interaction with trainers could be perceived as an obstacle. Fortunately, we provide support via phone, app, or email to compensate for this.

Online learning also requires a certain level of self-discipline. Without the structure of a fixed schedule, it can be tempting to procrastinate. Technical issues can also prove challenging and frustrating for delegates if they are unable to rely on functioning technology and internet access.

Despite these challenges, online learning does offer numerous benefits and opens the doors to flexible and accessible education for everyone, everywhere.

If you have a passion for improving processes and driving efficiency in your organisation, then the Lean Black Belt training is the perfect choice for you. This training will not only equip you with valuable skills that you can apply in your daily work, but it will also help you promote a culture of continuous improvement within your organisation. Armed with your Black Belt certification, you have the opportunity to make a significant contribution to the growth and efficiency of your organisation.

In this crucial phase, you delve deep into the core of the issue, define the scope of the improvement project, and gather 'Voice of the Customer' information. This lays a solid foundation upon which you can build to optimise your process!

2

Measure

Enter the Measure phase and elevate your process to the next level! Here, you go far beyond merely describing and visualising the process. You also hit the nail on the head by identifying waste and unveiling quick-wins. Discover the power of data-driven decision-making through the execution of measurements.

3

Analyse

Take action with the invaluable data you've gathered in the Measure phase! Kick off with a baseline assessment to map out your current performance. After this analysis, it's time to fine-tune your improvement journey and delve into the root causes of your problems. Employ an arsenal of advanced techniques not just to identify issues, but also to bring solutions within reach.

4

Improve

Implement improvements in the Improve phase! After conducting in-depth analyses and unravelling the root causes, it's time to come up with solutions. Harness the creativity of the participants and make intelligent use of Lean tools to arrive at a well-thought-out selection of solutions.

5

Control

This step teaches you a range of robust safeguarding techniques to ensure that resolved issues truly become a thing of the past. You wrap up the Lean project and extend your gratitude to the dedicated project team that made it all possible.
