Lean reduces waste by streamlining a process and eliminating Non Value Add. Six Sigma delivers breakthrough process improvements by eliminating defects and effectively solving tough problems.
Combining these two methods gives you a comprehensive tool set that accelerates the speed and effectiveness of any process within an organisation – delivering improved quality, capacity, predictability and reduced overall cost.
Lean Six Sigma is a proven enabler for delivering business success in any type or size of organisation. It has been used by Global and Fortune 1000 companies as the tactical means for achieving key strategic goals.
Our Lean Six Sigma training is delivered using the DMAIC methodology.
This closed loop approach to process improvement ensures that logic and data drives the solution and the critical “Control phase”, ensures on-going monitoring and sustainability, which is critical to long-term success.
Lean Six Sigma training is provided through the belt based training system where personnel are designated as yellow belts, green belts, black belts and master black belts, similar to karate. Each belt is trained to a different level of problem solving expertise. Having different skillsets available within an organisation can result in an extremely powerful and effective team.
Important Note
Where Senior Management have not been exposed to Lean Six Sigma methodology or where a company does not presently have a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt on-site, we strongly recommend starting with a Lean Six Sigma Champion training programme. This will dramatically increase the success of your Lean Six Sigma programme and the delivery of the right projects.
