Lean Six Sigma Black Belt – Live Virtual Mode
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 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 |
|
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. | 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 |
9. | 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 |
LISS Six Sigma Black Belt (LISS BB) Certification Roadmap
The roadmap is given below.
1. | Attend the 10-day BB training program split over two phases of 5 days each |
2. | Obtain 75% or more in the evaluation paper |
3. | Successfully complete 1 project fulfilling the requirements of Six Sigma DMAIC framework |
Software used for data analysis: Minitab v. 15 or above
“Every LVC training will have a live Q&A (doubt clearing session) at the end of the training on a subsequent date. The date will be typically two weeks upon completion and every participant will receive further guidance and coaching as desired.”
- For attending the LSSBB program a participant must be LSSGB certified. However, senior professionals with more than 6 years of relevant experience can attend after their application has been scrutinized by QAI.
