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.
