Typically there are seven kinds of such wastes - Defects, Overproduction, Waiting, Non-used employee talent, Transportation, Inventory, Motion, and Excessive Processing (remembered as DOWNTIME). The concepts of Lean Six Sigma help the organisation to do away with the waste processes.Japanese have termed this waste elimination processes as ‘muda’ which helps the organisation achieve the following aims:

Sort
Straighten
Shine
Standardise
Sustain

Course Overview

Waste comes from unnecessary steps in the process of production within the organisation. On the other hand, waste also results from variation within the process in case of Six Sigma.

Waste elimination can be achieved by following the principles laid down in the various Lean Six Sigma Belt courses. The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Upgrade course is available to those professionals who have already certified as Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. The Black Belt Upgrade course allows the professionals to cover the contents of just the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt course. Unlike the Black Belt course under which Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt and Green Belt are covered, this upgrade course covers neither of them.

EXAM:

The exam will be conducted at the end of the training. The exam consists of 100 Multiple Choice, scenario based Questions (MCQ’s).The delegate would need to choose one correct answer from the given four and proceed further.

One will need to have 70 percentage marks i.e. 70 questions must be correct from 100 to clear the exam. Our trainers will make sure that the delegates have gone through all the concepts of the subject so that they can easily clear the exam in the first attempt.

The language used in the exam would be English. In case, the delegate is not comfortable with the exam in English; we can try to provide the exam in another language by consulting our trainer or management. Selection of language depends upon the comfort of the trainer. Therefore, we can’t guarantee this will happen.

All other details regarding exams will be provided during the training by our experts.

Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Upgrade

What is Lean?

Lean is the mathematical approach for streamlining both service processes and manufacturing by removing waste while continuing to deliver value to customers or clients. Lean is not just a set of tools; it stems from cultural roots which manifest in the business. A Lean Culture also called Lean Management is the foundation of improvement of Lean Process. During Lean Culture, improvement is exponentially more likely to be sustained so that a continuous improvement environment can be created in the organisation. It is the combination of defining customer value, aligning around a central purpose, striving for perfection while respecting and developing employees at the same time.

A Lean Process has following characteristics:

A lean process is usually faster than other processes
It is more efficient and economical than others
It also delivers satisfactory quality services to customers

A Lean system can be achieved by removing waste from the processes that are no more needed to have a successful outcome for the project. After completely removing the waste, we only include those steps which are required for customer satisfaction.

What is the Lean Six Sigma process?

Lean Six Sigma process includes following steps:

Define
Measure
Analyse

Geography

Located in Scotland's Central Belt, Edinburgh lies on the Firth of Forth's southern shore. The city center is 2.5 miles southwest of the shoreline of Leith and 26 miles inland from the east coast of Scotland and the North Sea at Dunbar. While the early burgh came up near the prominent Castle Rock, the modern city is often said to be constructed on seven hills. These hills include Calton Hill, Corstorphine Hill, Craiglockhart Hill, Braid Hill, Blackford Hill, Arthur's Seat and the Castle Rock. They make it appear like the Seven Hills of Rome.

Edinburgh occupies a small gap between the Firth of Forth to the north and the Pentland Hills and their outrunners to the south. It is spread over a landscape the product of early volcanic activity and later intensive glaciation. Much of the area is predominated by the Igneous activity that occurred between 350 and 400 million years ago. The actity was later coupled with faulting and led to the creation of tough basalt volcanic plugs. Glacial erosion on the north side of the crag created a deep valley that was later filled by the Nor Loch. These plugs and valleys coupled with a hollow on the rock's south side, formed a natural strongpoint to build the Edinburgh Castle. Arthur's Seat is the remains of a volcano dating from the Carboniferous period, which was eroded by a glacier moving west to east during the ice age. This process formed the distinctive Salisbury Crags. The residential areas of Marchmont and Bruntsfield are built along the city centre from where the glacier receded.
