Overview

The Lean Six Sigma Expert MasterClass Program is designed to help you master two important management methodologies – Lean and Six Sigma – that have been brought together to accelerate business improvement. Fast track your career with this course that will give you the management qualities businesses look for and become the go-to professional for quality management projects.

The Lean Six Sigma Expert Masters Program is aimed at helping you master Lean and Six Sigma principles and methodologies. As organisations strive for continuous improvement, they seek management professionals that can employ problem solving and business know-how to enhance internal processes. This course positions you to take the lead in quality management projects.

The Lean Management course is the foundation for this master’s program and shows you how to optimise end-to-end processes to increase quality and drive maximum value in any business. The next stage focuses on the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, which explains the core principles of Lean Six Sigma, how to implement quality projects and specific industry applications. You’ll also learn to use the statistical Minitab tool to enable effective statistical analysis for projects.

After completing these three courses, you will be prepared for becoming a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, which is the final step to becoming a Lean Six Sigma expert and validating your ability. We also suggest taking courses in Lean Six Sigma in IT/Healthcare based on your domain.

Structured Learning Path

All live Courses, Self Study and Projects are Planned in Sequence to ensure you are taking the course in the correct order and building up your skillset.

Course 1

Lean Management

This Lean Management Certification Training will expose you to the concepts and principles of Lean Management to help you optimise processes, increase quality and drive maximum value in any business. You’ll learn to create more value for customers with fewer resources, reduce unwanted activities and adopt continuous process improvement, where small changes are implemented systematically. The course will guide you in implementing Lean tools, techniques and metrics in your organisation.

Learning Outcomes:

In simple terms, Lean Management creates more value with fewer resources, reducing unwanted activities or process that do not add value to a product or service for a customer. Lean management is an approach to running an organisation that encourages continuous improvement, a long-term process where small changes are implemented systematically. Changes to processes are incremental and increases quality and efficiency. This training will provide you with the concepts of Lean Management and how you can use them in your organisation.

Course Content: ● Introduction ● Types of Waste ● Tools ● Lean in Manufacturing ● Lean in Service ● Lean in Office ● Lean Metrics ● Other Methodologies that Complement Lean ● Lean Maturity Matrix

Course 2

Certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt

The Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification program is the second stage in the Lean Six Sigma Masters program. You’ll learn the core principles of Lean Six Sigma, how to implement quality projects and applications, and how to use the Minitab tool for effective statistical analysis. The course is aligned to ASQ and IASSC exams, integrates lean and DMAIC methodologies using case studies and real-life examples, and will give you the skills to empower your organisation for continuous improvement.

Learning Outcomes:

At the end of the Six Sigma Green Belt training, you will be able to: ● Become a key stakeholder in leading and implementing Lean Six Sigma projects in your organisation ● Describe how to identify an improvement project in the Define phase ● Explain how to measure process and product in the Measure phase ● Perform data analysis and hypothesis testing in the Analyse phase ● Identify possible improvement actions for the performance of variations in the Improve phase ● Define efficient operating levels for inputs and outputs in the Control phase ● Use DFSS Tools such as Quality Function Deployment (QFD), Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and Risk Priority Number (RPN)

Course Content: ● Course Introduction ● Six Sigma and Organisational Goals ● Define Phase ● Measure Phase ● Analyse Phase ● Improve Phase ● Control Phase ● Tips and Tricks ● Lean Six Sigma Green Belt(LSSGB)

Course 3

Minitab

This course ensures that you learn the practical applications of the latest version of the statistical tool, Minitab® 17 and excel at the tools used by both Lean Si x Sigma Green Belt and Black Belt professionals. The course covers 9 case studies in the domains of Healthcare, IT and IT Services, and Manufacturing, and each case study describes a problem and its solution using Minitab® 17.

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of Minitab training you will be able to: ● Process key statistical data operations using Minitab ● Export data to various MS office applications ● Understand and apply various statistical tools in various quality projects ● Understand and remove common pitfalls in data analysis ● Master all statistical tools/topics needed for Green/Black belt projects

Course Content:

● Introduction to MINITAB ● Interoperability in Minitab ● Lean Six Sigma Green Belt case study ● Case Study on Lean SS Green Belt ● Gage R and R Analysis and Attribute R and R Analysis ● Case Study on Lean SS Black Belt ● Regression Analysis in Minitab ● Hypothesis Tests for Non-Normally Distributed Data ● Analysis of Variance ● Chi Square Test for Association ● Design of Experiments ● Common Pitfalls while Analysing Data

Course 4
