Lean Six Sigma Training

Lean Six Sigma provides expertise to it's users at various levels.

The first level in the Lean Six Sigma series is the Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt. This is an introductory course that teaches delegates the basics of Lean Six Sigma.

The second stage is the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. A Green Belt is supposed to be familiar with the concepts of the Yellow Belt, however, the Green Belt covers Yellow Belt concepts within it's course content. A Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certified professional is capable of handling a team of Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belts.

The third phase is the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.  To qualify for this stage, the delegate must be a Green Belt holder. They should also be capable of handling Green Belt Projects (at least ten of these).

The last stage is the Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt. To attain the Master Black Belt, delegates must have at least 7 years of professional experience, and a minimum of 2 years experience in executing continuous improvement projects based on Lean Six Sigma framework. The delegate should also be currently guiding continuous improvement Lean Six Sigma projects.

Delegates will become aware of DMAIC and DMADV models. 

DMAIC is a cycle that depicts what happens following changes to a process. DMAIC stands for:

• Define - the process and problem
• Measure - the process' current performance
• Analyse - the process for issues and root cause
• Improve - determine and apply improvements
• Control - sustain the improvements

DMADV is the method used for development of existing products. DMADV refers to:

Define - the project purpose and problems, and customer requirements to outline project objectives

Measure - the requirements and scope of the project

Analyse - define performance goals and the impact of processes

Design - come up with specifics and achieve design authentication

Verify - test the design and come to a conclusion
