Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Training

Overview:

Introduction:

Six Sigma is one of the world's most popular quality management methodologies, and this Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training course is specifically designed for individuals and organizations who are looking for an in-depth understanding of the widely-recognized Lean Six Sigma methodology.

Participants attending this course will gain a comprehensive understanding of disciplined, data-driven approach and process improvement techniques that eliminate defects in any process - from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service.

Course Objectives:

At the end of this conference the participants will be able to:

• Achieve significant improvements in critical business processes.
• Apply statistical and problem-solving tools to an improvement project brought to class on the first day.
• Reduce process variation.
• Eliminate waste and defects by applying lean and Six Sigma.
• Collect, analyze, and quantify data that enable process improvements.
• -Learn how to execute the Six Sigma methodology.
• Establish and define process capability.
• Identify and eliminate dominant process variation sources.
• Characterize and optimize processes by computing and applying statistical techniques.
• Design, simulate and execute designed experiments that depict validated improvement.
• Learn how to plan and implement process control to hold project gains.

Targeted Audience:

• This course is designed for individuals from diverse organizational functions—operations, quality, logistics, finance, production, engineering, and other staff functions seeking to bring significant business results to their organizations. Participants are traditionally well versed in technical aspects of their jobs, are team leaders, and are effective project facilitators.
