What you will learn during the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training:

During the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Training, you will develop the knowledge and tools to measurably improve, demonstrate, and optimise business processes. Process management, operations management, and change management are important pillars in this training. You will go through the five phases of Lean Six Sigma: DMAIC. In each phase, you will not only learn the theory of Six Sigma but also develop the practical skills to independently apply methodologies and techniques. The DMAIC phases are as follows:

1 – Define: In this phase, you will establish the scope of a Lean Six Sigma project. You will learn how to define a problem and determine the improvement potential. Topics covered include project selection, Voice of the Customer, Critical to Quality, SIPOC, stakeholder analysis, risk management, Brown Paper exercises, communication plan, and project management.

2 – Measure: Six Sigma revolves around measurability and data. You will develop a measurement plan, learn how to test and analyse data for reliability. You will learn to apply tools such as Value Stream Mapping, Swimlane, MIFA, UDMO, measurement plan, and change management. After this phase, you will be well equipped to offer workshop facilitation.

3 – Analyse: How do you analyse a process, measure its effectiveness, and identify the causes of a problem? In this phase, you will explore topics such as Lean Measurement, Run Chart, Histogram, Control Chart, Brainstorming, Ishikawa, Workshopping, Pareto Analysis, Hypothesis Testing, and Working Methods.

4 – Improve: How can you inspire project team members to come up with ideas for possible solutions? And how do you choose the best solution? You will explore topics such as Kaizen, Heijunka, Just in Time, Kanban, Jidoka, Flow, process simulations, and solution testing.

5 – Control: Achieving results is one thing but maintaining them is quite another. You will work with Procedures, FMEA, RACI, 8D, Audit, and Visual Management.

The phases of lean

1

Define

Step into the Define phase and discover how to transform your improvement project into a clear roadmap for success! 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.
