IntroductiON
Have you ever wondered why issues at work persist, even when many people are unhappy about them? It’s likely that several attempts to resolve the problem were made, yet it kept coming back. The underlying issue here is that true improvement does not work without knowing exactly what to resolve. This insight and the skill of finding out and exposing the real root cause of a problem is what makes Black Belts the driving force behind the resolving and prevention of problems. Black Belts know which changes truly contribute. And only through this understanding can lasting improvements be achieved.
Organizational benefits
All organizations benefit enormously from a reduction of waste. Imagine a department where workflows aren’t disrupted by a lack of materials, waiting times, or defects. By reducing waste, you improve productivity. Lean Six Sigma typically defines 7 types of waste, and Black Belts know how to eliminate each of them. They achieve this either through initiatives on a daily basis, or through complex, inter-departmental projects. The latter is where Black Belts achieve the most significant results, and how they are best utilized. During the training, participants are taught all the essential tools and methods, how to involve stakeholders, and keep efforts focused until results are in the bag.
Training variants
Attend a classroom training session and enjoy interaction with fellow students. Share ideas, learn from group exercises and discuss project ideas with your trainer, even from the first day. Our classrooms are all about interactivity and our practical exercises will help you develop your own Lean insights.
Interactivity and engagement are key for all of our trainings. Together with your fellow students, you will explore various tools and methods such as Push & Pull, Poka Yoke, Kaizen events, 5S and much more. The same quality as our classroom training sessions but from the comfort of your home or office.
If your agenda is often unpredictable, or if you’re simply looking for variety, then attend both classroom and virtual training sessions with our Blended option. Get the best of both worlds, and never worry about being unprepared; all students receive access to our exclusive MyTraining™ platform, which offers videos, literature and complementary courses on the topics of the next training.
Curriculum
The effectiveness of Lean Six Sigma Black Belts stems from the rare ability to help everyone save time. Time is always in short supply. But by refining processes, creating shared routines and by changing how people deal with hurdles at work, Lean Six Sigma practitioners can save incredible amounts of time. Black Belts learn how to deconstruct and rebuild processes, learn how to involve others in Continuous Improvement and how to improve the working standard for everyone.
The Black Belt ‘Manufacturing’ training has been created for professionals aiming to employ Lean Six Sigma on a full-time basis within larger, enterprise-sized organizations. Specifically those involved with manufacturing and the mass production of goods. This training is intended for those who seek future employment in the Continuous Improvement field, and the training content reflects this. Included in the training is a coached project and in total will take approximately 3-4 months.
