COURSE DETAILS

This Six Sigma Yellow Belt course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive

overview of the Six Sigma Process. Trainees will enhance their current skills by developing a

good understanding of the DEFINE - MEASURE - ANALYSE - IMPROVE – CONTROL (DMAIC)

methodology.

This powerful tool will enable your team to identify opportunities for improvement and assist

in the implementation of projects leading to efficiency. It is specially designed to equip key

personnel within your organization with the expertise needed to participate in projects led

by a Green Belt or even a Black Belt. Typically these individuals gather correct data, locate,

control and watch out for possible monetary loss in any area of the company, and report this

kind of information to Green Belts and Black Belts residing within the company.

If you have already invested in Green Belt and Black Belt training of key personnel in your

organization, then you should consider the benefits of cascading these same principles to

lower levels in your company, creating a culture for improvement from the floor up. Yellow

Belt training allows your personnel to become a valuable player within your company’s larger

goals and objectives

Six Sigma can deliver results in all types of organisations and industries – not only in

Engineering, Manufacturing and Assembly, but also in contact centres, the public sector,

including healthcare, and in the software industry. Introduce Six Sigma into your organisation

to achieve much increased efficiency and effectiveness, resulting in delighted customers.

COURSE DETAILS

Quite often organizations gather data, and review their KPI's at regular intervals, yet this

valuable information generally does not lead to significant cost reductions or increased

efficiency.

This Lean Six Sigma Greenbelt course is designed to provide your organisation with a fully

trained problem solver, who will be able to "read" the data, analyse it, and see in it

opportunities to not only solve problems, but also to lead cost reduction and/or efficiency

projects.

Trainees will enhance their current skills by developing a detailed understanding of the

DEFINE - MEASURE - ANALYSE - IMPROVE – CONTROL methodology.

The training is divided into 3 modules:

• Define / Measure Phase: 3 days

• Analyse Phase: 2 days

• Improve / Control Phase: 2 days

A gap of around 4 weeks between each module provides an opportunity for trainees to work

on a project within their workplace, applying the methodology learned during the previous

session's training. Extra support can be provided for the trainees with their project work.

All Green Belt participants will be given access to the Hewlett Packard Black Belt Toolbox, an

on-line manual of around 70 improvement tools; the toolbox is an invaluable resource that

Lean Six Sigma practitioners can use as a reference for when and how to apply the Six Sigma

tools.

In the 1980’s many started studying the secret of success of Japanese manufacturing

companies. They discovered that the most impressive "secret" was 5S. The factories

were so well organized that abnormal situations and waste were readily apparent. To

potential customers, the first impression was an environment conducive to quality and

consistency. 5S was one of the fundamental building blocks for an organization serious

about continuous improvement.

"Lean" thinking focuses on reducing waste and adding value to a process, by identifying

and removing the wasted and unnecessary effort, delays, costs, processes, inventory,

handling etc. The 5S approach lays the foundation to achieve this by standardizing

operational practices to ensure efficient, ergonomic, repeatable, safe ways of working.

This brings many benefits: higher quality, lower costs, reliable deliveries, increased

morale, and improved safety … to name but a few. This is because it leads to a highly

visual workplace, which makes Problems and Waste immediately obvious. It is therefore

one of the most powerful Lean Tools, and provides a stable foundation upon which to

build all of your other improvement programs, Lean Tools, and Practices. It is also one

of the simplest to implement, and can be applied within your manufacturing

environment, office processes, or even within a service industry.

This one day course will provide you with a comprehensive overview of the 5S Process,

how to identify the 7 wastes, and how you can implement it in your organization.

COURSE DETAILS

This 8D course is built upon the approach to problem solving that has been standardized in

the Automotive and Pharmaceutical industry, and is now also being used across a broad

spectrum of industry.

It provides an 8-step problem solving process that focuses on identifying the real “root cause”

and therefore preventing problem recurrence. The methodology identifies the symptoms,

defines the problem, establishes the cause and takes action that solve, prevent and lead to

improvement.

This one-day, highly interactive workshop will provide you with all the skills you need to use

the 8D approach to Problem Solving. Delegates will use the 8D template to solve a real

problem as they go through the learning of all the individual tools. High emphasis is also

placed upon the soft skills of problem solving “team work”, as it is in this area that the high

impact benefits are won or lost.

Each participant will take away with them:

• A grounded understanding of the critical few tools for successful root cause problem

solving

• An 8D template that can be used in the workplace the next day

• Tips and suggestions for removing barriers and obstacles to problem solving

• Increased confidence due to the successful application of the method with a workshop

example

Who Would Benefit From This 8D Approach? This 8D approach is suitable for ALL types of

companies or organisations, not just manufacturing, but also public and voluntary sectors.

COURSE DETAILS

This training course is based around the PDCA (plan–do–check–act) management method

used in business for the control and continuous improvement of processes and products.

The methodology is successful by achieving small-step improvements, rather than

implementing one huge improvement. The Japanese use the term "kaizen" to describe this

process and it involves every level of the organization, from hourly workers to top-

management.

This course builds on these principles and will provide participants with a structured method

to manage change, using Lean Tools to identify opportunities for improvement, processes to

test and validate the proposed improvements, and how to implement and sustain them.

Then build upon the improvement achieved to further improve using the PDCA cycle time

and time again.

Course Content

• The Need for Change

• How We Approach Change

• Deming Model of Continuous

Improvement

• Data Collection Methods

• Flowcharts & Process Mapping

A process map is a visual tool used to illustrate your core processes. It's a

communication tool, a planning tool, and also a tool to drive unnecessary costs out of your

organisation. It is also a practical tool to help you identify and address core problems in your

organisation.

PROCESS MAPPING is an essential and critical stage in the search for performance

improvement. Yet the approach is not widely recognised or understood. PROCESS MAPPING

will help managers and staff alike discover where the real problems lie and identify the

opportunities for improvement.

Whether delivering a service or producing a product, successful organisations are in continual

pursuit of better, faster and cheaper. An agreed, accurate understanding of your processes

will provide new sources of rich stimulation for ideas to solve problems and find

improvements.

This course has been designed so that your business may use Process Mapping as THE TOOL

to drive improvement. The techniques explained in this practical "hands--on" workshop will

yield real, timely, and motivating results.

meetings. They may be staff meetings, project planning groups, process improvement

workshops or any other situation that requires a group of people to come together to share

information, generate ideas, evaluate options, build consensus or take decisions.

To get the most from your people, you need to know how to create buy-in, generate

participation and empower people. It is impossible to build teams, consistently achieve

consensus or run effective decision making meetings without facilitation skills. The good

news is that these skills can be mastered by anyone.

Agenda Who should attend?

During the day you will cover:

• What is a Facilitator?

• A 4-step Model for working across

Value stream mapping (VSM) is a high level tool that enables a management team in a manufacturing environment to take a systems approach to implementing operational excellence and customer satisfaction. It is of most benefit when carried out in the design phase of process development. A VSM workshop is facilitated on an annual basis during which “one year’s worth” of projects is identified to further enhance customer service and process performance. Learning Objective and Deliverables At the end of this workshop participants will:

• understand the purpose and format of a high level value stream map; • have a physical detailed VSM for the product (order processing, planning, purchasing,

production, quality and distribution); • have identified measures of customer value in key processes; • have a list of prioritised issues and action items on which to work on during a one year

period, that will deliver a more robust, lower cost and customer friendly process, and • have identified key performance metrics, the achievement of which will help to

guarantee consistent delivery of customer value. The VSM forms the backbone of the continuous improvement roadmap for a product and will largely determine the project resources & training effort required over each year in the future. In a lean organisation the VSM workshop is repeated annually. Who should attend? VSM is facilitated with the product management team, with key operations, engineering, supply chain and operations team lead personnel also in attendance.

COURSE DETAILS

The Six Sigma Green Belt is a specially trained team member within his or her function-

specific area of the organisation. This focus allows the Green Belt to work on small,

carefully defined Six Sigma projects, which require less than a Black Belt’s full-time

commitment.

Our Green Belt Training provides participants with strong problem-solving skills, with an

emphasis on the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control) model.

The Green Belt has two primary tasks: first, to help successfully deploy Six Sigma

techniques, and second, to lead small-scale improvement projects within their respective

areas. In a support role, Green Belts can do much of the data-gathering analysis in support

of a Black Belt project. On the Green Belt course you will learn how to use many of the Six

Sigma problem-solving methods and statistical tools to contribute to the success of your

organisation.

On this six-day Six Sigma Green Belt course participants will complete a practical business

improvement project and pass a written multiple choice examination.
