Lean Six Sigma
What is Lean Six Sigma?
Lean Six Sigma is a fact-based, data-driven philosophy of improvement that values defect prevention over defect detection. It drives customer satisfaction and bottom-line results by reducing variation, waste, and cycle time, while promoting the use of work standardization and flow, thereby creating a competitive advantage. It applies anywhere variation and waste exist, and every employee should be involved.
Industries that can utilize Lean Six Sigma.
Healthcare
Healthcare costs are skyrocketing across the country and an aging population means increased stress on healthcare services. Lean Six Sigma can help you increase the amount of time care providers are able to spend with patients, reduce the time spent on paperwork, and reduce the time people spend waiting for care, waiting for claims or waiting for a call.
Certifications
Six Sigma White Belt
White Belt classes are geared toward providing you with fundamental comprehension of the Lean Six Sigma (also known as LSS) outline involving process improvement, variability, process performance, and the specific roles that different team members play. Students who attend this workshop lend support to the process improvement projects as either a Project Leader or as a Team Member.
Six Sigma Yellow Belt
Yellow Belt classes cover a few of the basic improvement procedures and their necessary metrics. In the case of many organizations, the person who has a Yellow Belt certified training is also an SME or “subject matter expert”. They can become a central team member on an individual project or multiple projects.
Participants in this class will become familiar with the fundamental tools associated with Six Sigma roadmap. The goal of the Yellow Belt training is to give students the necessary tools required in order to become a valuable player within a company’s larger goals and objectives.
Six Sigma Green Belt
Six Sigma Green Belts are individuals that work on simple process improvement projects. Traditionally, their job would require less than 50% of their time be focused on Six Sigma projects. However, Six Sigma Green Belt roles and job requirements will vary between companies.
A Green Belt certification is ideal for those that will be tasked with improving existing processes, these could be processes that are not standardized, don’t have established metrics or looking to reduce errors or cycle time of those processes.
Six Sigma Black Belt
The Certified Six Sigma Black Belt is a professional who can explain Six Sigma philosophies and principles, including supporting systems and tools. A Black Belt should demonstrate team leadership, understand team dynamics and assign team member roles and responsibilities.
Black belts have a thorough understanding of all aspects of the define, measure, analyze, improve and control (DMAIC) model in accordance with Six Sigma principles. They have basic knowledge of lean enterprise concepts, are able to identify non-value-added elements and activities and are able to use specific tools.
