ISL-Certified Lean Six Sigma Green 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 Green Belts learn the six sigma problems solving methodology (DMAIC), the statistical tools and Lean tools. The focus is to master the application skills rather than learning the theoretical understanding. The program makes extensive use of MS-Excel for data analysis.
Learning Objectives
• To understand the philosophy of six sigma
• To learn DMAIC methodology and statistical tools application
• To be able to lead Six Sigma Green Belt projects.
• To understand the basic concepts, tools and practices of Lean
• To learn tactical skills for implementing lean at specific process.
• To be able to explain the lean concepts to the team
• To be able to apply lean principles to different process settings
Methodology
This training and certification is delivered completely online. The Learning Management System (LMS) provides following elements:
• Multimedia lecture (Audio with automatic slide transition)
• Quiz, with answers and explanation to wrong questions.
• Discussion forum for engaging in dialogue with other participants.
• Step-by-Step project guidance
