The organisations, today, seek to provide the best of services and products in a minimum time possible. To do so, it becomes a must that any kind of extra or unwanted processes must be removed. In Japanese terminology, these waste elimination processes are known as ‘muda’ which accomplishes the five tasks – sort, straighten, shine, standardise, sustain.

A Professional with a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification is one who provides these solutions at the highest level. A Lean Six Sigma Black Belt professional leads a group of Green Belt professionals to overcome any such processes and take the organisation forward. We at Pentagon, help the delegates by providing them with this course through the professionals who understand Lean Six Sigma thoroughly.

Who should take this course

Those professionals who want to improve their skills and have experience in managing Green Belt Projects can sit for the training where they will learn to manage more challenging and complex projects.

Prerequisites

The delegates who wish to acquire this certification must already hold a Lean Six Sigma Practitioner Green Belt Certification. In order to get the certification, the candidates must come with a project that they are supposed to complete after the course is over.

What Will You Learn

Having completed the Black Belt certification, the delegates will be familiar with the following concepts of Lean Six Sigma:

  • Define and Plan Projects for improvement including the developing charters.
  • Determining and managing stakeholder requirements.
  • Understand and improve the various qualitative and quantitative tools that are used to gauge and analyse business process.
  • Use  Lean principles to determine customer value, determine value streams, understand flow develop pull systems and ensure perfection.
  • Analyse, quantify and choose the most suitable solutions.
  • Control business processes and understand process change through the use of SPC and change management skills
  • Manage Green Belt projects and resources

What's included

  Course Overview

Ever since World War II, Japan had been devising ways to bring about an economic boom targeted at its recovery. Japan had been following Kaizen business model for this purpose. In 1986, the United States came up with Six Sigma with its first implementation in Motorola Inc. In the 1990’s this was adopted by General Electric also and in the early years of the 21st Century, Six Sigma and Lean collaborated to bring about Lean Six Sigma.

Lean is a managerial concept that aims at reducing the seven kinds of waste while Six Sigma focuses on reducing processes variations of all sorts thereby helping to link the processes together tightly.

Lean Six Sigma provides various levels of certifications each providing the delegate with a higher understanding of Lean Six Sigma. These certifications are shown in the figure.

Lean Six Sigma

Those delegates who wish to sit for the exam they have taken some training from an authorised/accredited institute, or trainer, though this is not a prerequisite.Again, delegates wishing to sit for the exam must also have a real-world Lean Six Sigma project experience(this is also only recommended and not required).

On completion of the course and the exam, the delegates are certified by the International Association for Six Sigma Certification™ as Belk Belt Certified Professionals. The only third party Certification Association within the Lean Six Sigma Industry is the IASSC.

Exams

The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Exam takes place during the second Friday afternoon at the end of the course. The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Exam contains  150 questions. It a closed book proctored exam that lasts for 4-hours.

About Sheffield

Sheffield is a city area in South Yorkshire, England. Actually part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, its name originates from the River Sheaf, which innings through the city. With some of its southern suburbs occupied from Derbyshire, the city has grown up from its main manufacturing roots to include a broader economic base.

In the 19th century, Sheffield increased a global reputation for steel manufacture. Known as the Steel City, many novelties were industrialised nearby, counting container and stainless steel, powering an almost tenfold increase in the population in the Industrial Rebellion. Sheffield conventional its public charter in 1843, flattering the City of Sheffield in 1893. International rivalry in iron and steel produced a weakening in these businesses in the 1970s and 1980s, according to with the failure of coal withdrawal in the area.

Government:

Sheffield is ruled at the local level by Sheffield City Council. It contains 84 councillors chosen to signify 28 words: three councillors per district. Following the 2016 local votes, the delivery of assembly places is Labor. The city also has a Lord Mayor though now just a ritual position, in the past, the office approved substantial authority, with decision-making powers over the funds and businesses of the city assembly.

Much of its past the assembly was skilful by the Labor Party, and was noted for its leftist understandings; during the 1980s, when David Blunkett ran Sheffield City Council, the area augmented the epithet the Socialist Republic of South Yorkshire. Though, the Liberal Democrats measured the Council between 1999 and 2001 and took control again from 2008 to 2011.

Climate:

Like the break of the United Kingdom, the weather in Sheffield is usually temperate. The Pennies to the west of the city can make a cool, depressed and wet atmosphere, but they also deliver shelter from the usual westerly breezes, forming rain shadow across the area.  Between 1971 and 2000 Sheffield be about 824.7 millimetres (32.47 in) of rain per year. December was the rainiest month with 91.9 millimetres (3.62 in) and July the dehydrated with 51.0 millimetres (2.01 in). July was also the hottest month, with an average maximum temperature of 20.8 °C (69.4 °F). The regular least temperature in January and February was 1.6 °C (34.9 °F), however the lowermost heats recorded in these months can be between −10 and −15 °C (14 and 5 °F), though since 1960, the temperature has never fallen below −9.2 °C (15.4 °F), signifying that urbanization around the Weston Park site during the second half of the 20th century may stop temperatures below −10 °C (14 °F) happening.
