Lean Six Sigma

A 3-day course that teaches how to improve quality and efficiency using the DMAIC process, lean tools, and data analysis. Ideal for professionals aiming to cut waste, solve problems, and lead improvement projects.

Description

 

This 3-day course provides practical skills in Lean Six Sigma methodologies to improve process efficiency and quality. Designed for managers, engineers, and process improvement professionals, it equips participants with tools to drive operational excellence.

 

Lean Six Sigma combines lean principles and Six Sigma methodologies to eliminate waste and reduce process variation, enhancing efficiency and quality. Lean Six Sigma is a 3-day course designed to equip professionals with the skills to apply these methodologies in industries like manufacturing, services, and logistics. The course covers the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control) framework, lean tools, and statistical analysis, tailored to process improvement projects.

Participants will learn to identify process inefficiencies, measure performance, and analyse data to uncover root causes of defects. The course addresses challenges like project prioritization, data accuracy, and change management, providing strategies to implement sustainable improvements. It includes lean tools like 5S and value stream mapping, alongside Six Sigma techniques like control charts and hypothesis testing.

The course is ideal for professionals seeking to reduce costs, improve quality, and achieve operational excellence.

By the end, attendees will be equipped to lead Lean Six Sigma projects, optimize processes, and drive continuous improvement, contributing to organizational success.
