What is Six Sigma?
Six Sigma is a management system, methodology and statistical analysis tool for streamlining business processes via the elimination of defects. By implementing Six Sigma organisations can improve and sustain quality, eliminate waste and increase profit. This is achieved by:
Reducing variations in processes.
Defining, Measuring, Analysing, Improving and Controlling processes.
Involvement and commitment of the whole organisation including top level management.
Six Sigma was originally developed by Motorola, USA in 1986. Since then Six Sigma has spread far beyond its roots in manufacturing and is now used extensively to improve service based and transactional business processes.
What does Lean mean?
The core idea is to maximize customer value while minimizing waste. Simply, lean means creating more value for customers with fewer resources. A lean organization understands customer value and focuses its key processes to continuously increase it. The ultimate goal is to provide perfect value to the customer through a perfect value creation process that has zero waste.
To accomplish this, lean thinking changes the focus of management from optimizing separate technologies, assets, and vertical departments to optimizing the flow of products and services through entire value streams that flow horizontally across technologies, assets, and departments to customers.
Eliminating waste along entire value streams, instead of at isolated points, creates processes that need less human effort, less space, less capital, and less time to make products and services at far less costs and with much fewer defects, compared with traditional business systems. Companies are able to respond to changing customer desires with high variety, high quality, low cost, and with very fast throughput times. Also, information management becomes much simpler and more accurate.
Lean Six Sigma Black Belt - 10 days
The Six Sigma Black Belt Conversion Training course is aimed at delegates who have already achieved Six Sigma Green Belt Certification. Delegates who have not attended Six Sigma Green Belt training should first attend our Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training course and complete a Six Sigma project before attending.
Six Sigma Black Belt Conversion Training Course Content
Delegates should bring a well defined Six Sigma project with them to the course, including SIPOC, Process Map and Data. You will be able to undertake live Six Sigma project work during the course and in the month’s gap between the two weeks of training.

Lean Six Sigma Green Belt ---5 days
Project teams lie at the heart of Six Sigma improvement and redesign activities. These teams consist of people who want to use their knowledge and skills to improve the performance of business processes. Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training is for developing team members understanding and application the Define Measure Analyse Improve and Control (DMAIC) model which is the cornerstone of most Six Sigma projects.
The focus of Six Sigma is fundamentally quality, cost and customer focus. Lean focuses primarily on cost and speed. This course blends a Lean concepts and tools into the Six Sigma DMAIC model. Team leaders and members are the muscle and brains behind the Lean Six Sigma programme, so it is critical that they are equipped with the skills and tools to enable them to deliver current (and future) improvements.
