What makes our programs stand out?
Quality Takeaway Skills to Lead Own Projects
This program addresses the dilution/pollution of the belt training in the market. Many Six Sigma providers watered down the original green and black belt hours of training causing a lack of sufficient knowledge and tools to execute a project. This is the cause of LSS Belts not achieving project savings as in the past.
Blended Learning Model
Our flexible format utilizes a mixture of online learning and live webinars. Blended Learning provides the advantage of self-paced online learning, which allows the candidate to stop the videos for taking notes or replay the videos on topics that are not clear to them. With the live sessions scheduled based on participant preferences, candidates have personal contact with the instructor to ask questions and interact.
Do You Prefer a Simple Introduction to Lean Six Sigma Thinking?
The Six Sigma DMAIC methodology is used for process improvement to a limited level of variation and to improve quality within any organization. Each module of our self-paced Lean Six Sigma Methods for Quality and Process Improvement course introduces a Six Sigma concept and its application to systematically improve any existing process within manufacturing, universities, accounting services, and healthcare facilities.
This course is for mid-level managers or existing leaders who want to make an impact on both the bottom line and to satisfy customer expectations. We recommend enrolling an interdisciplinary team of employees to learn at their own pace, and then to bring them together for targeted project-based work!
