Lean Six Sigma Black Belt (LSSBB)

Lean Six Sigma Black Belt

The Lean Innovation Six Sigma Black belt 10-day program will cover the most contemporary process improvement practices adopted by leading organizations and proponents of Lean Six Sigma in service industry as well as engineering firms within the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, & Control), DFSS (Design for Six Sigma) and IDOV (Identify, Design, Optimize and Verify) frameworks.

Participants will be exposed to latest concepts such as (but not limited to):

1. Project management practices related to project selection, resource management, change management, financial management and other applicable areas

2.Data analytic tools and practices that are fast yet effective even in constrained environments where quantity and quality of data is an issue

3.Insights on how simple tools of Six Sigma, that are at times ignored by practitioners, that yield fast and effective results in the process improvement journey

4.Lean or Toyota Production System (TPS) insights that go beyond the introductory concepts related to types of waste and Value Stream Mapping (VSM). Some of these concepts have been lost over time in the translation of text from Japanese to the English language

5.TRIZ or Theory of Inventive Problem Solving insights for accelerated thinking in generating sustainable and win-win solutions. These concepts will also be useful for those who wish to practice Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) at a later stage of their career

6.Insights on identifying value creation opportunities that are being adopted for product portfolio design by leading organizations such as Motorola, P&G amongst others

7. Systems thinking tools that reveal the core issues to be tackled in complex real-world situations

8.Introduction to Shainin Design of Experiment (DOE) technique for quick validation of prototype results

Introduction to Lean Innovation Six Sigma

Six Sigma is not just an improvement methodology that uses the DMAIC- Define – Measure- Analyze- Improve – Control framework, but it also is –

1.A System of management to achieve lasting business leadership and top performance applied to benefit business, customers, associates and shareholders in Service, Manufacturing and BFSI sectors

2.A Measure to define the capability of any process

3.A Goal for improvement, that targets near perfection through continuous reduction of variation.According to Michael George, author of the best seller Lean Six Sigma, “Rapid improvement requires both Lean and Six Sigma as an amalgamated approach”-4.Integration with Lean and Innovation

• Lean Six Sigma is a methodology that maximizes shareholder value by achieving the fastest rate of improvement in customer satisfaction, cost, quality, process speed and invested capital
• The fusion of Lean and Six Sigma is required because-
  • Lean cannot bring a process in statistical control and
  • Six Sigma, alone cannot dramatically improve the process speed or reduced invested capital.

USPs of the QAI program –

1.Integration with Lean and Innovation

2.Improvement journey is equally applicable for Service / BFSI / BPO / IT IS / KPO/ Manufacturing / Healthcare / Pharma sectors

3. Faculties are consultants in leading organizations from relevant areas with over 15 years of experience

4. Case studies and caselets are provided and worked upon during the program, thus giving hands-on practice

5.Shared documents like- articles, templates, and calculators

6. The program is widely recognized by industry experts

7. Recognized by PMI for PDUs. 70 PDUs are conferred on completion of the training

8.Project support by experts over a period of 1-year post training

Participants are expected to complete 1 BB project after the training.

If participants find it difficult to get a project, detailed case studies will have to be completed by the participants within a period of 6 months after the training
