ISL-Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt
(Free International Certification from IQF, USA)
Lean and Six Sigma have evolved in Toyota, Japan and Motorola, USA respectively. Lean has a reputation of making the organization to drive cost reduction through creating an organization wide war on waste. Lean makes the organization competitive in the long-term. On the other hand, Six Sigma proved itself as the most effective problem solving approach and delivers breakthrough results in the short-term.
An organization can gain both in short-term and long-term by combining the Lean as well as Six Sigma approaches. Lean Sigma program combines the best of American and Japanese quality management practices.
ISL-certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belts are at the core of the Lean Six Sigma implementation. ‘Black Belt’ is an individual who has developed a synergistic proficiency between his or her technical discipline and the Lean and Six Sigma strategies, methodology and tools. Black Belt skills are not only required for people working in Quality department as they improve the productivity of people in all other functional departments.
Lean efforts are not limited to manufacturing; a lean mindset applies to any process. Lean techniques can be used to reduce waste and add value to processes in the office, in maintenance, and even in sales and R&D. In some cases, the impact of a lean approach in the office can be even more dramatic than in manufacturing processes.
Silver certification is focused on application of lean principles and tools at value stream level, which is referred as integrative lean – which involves integration of lean activities and organizational restructuring to transform the value stream and sustain the same. You should also have the ability to mentor and coach others on both tactical and integrative Lean.
Black Belts are also trained in soft skills. The combination of process analysis, statistical and soft skills makes the Black Belts ideal candidates to act as change agents. Black Belt slowly and steadily change the way people think and act in the day-to-day work. Often this is referred cultural change.
