Online or Onsite 6 Sigma Training Courses

Online Lean 6 Sigma Training Including Black Belt, Green Belt, and Master Black Belt Training

Six Sigma Training Classes Include: Green Belt Training - Black Belt Training - Master Black Belt Training & Executive Overview Training

“6 Sigma” is a statistical term that equates to 3.4 defects per million opportunities. Most organizations operate around the three sigma level which is equivalent to roughly 67,000 defects per million opportunities. The goal of Lean 6 Sigma is to identify and understand the causes for not achieving better performance, then to take specific data driven actions in order to provide continuous improvement of processes, products, and services. The Lean 6 Sigma methodology has a proven track record with company's such as General Electric, Motorola, Allied Signal, Dupont, Ford Motor Company, and many more. Lean 6 Sigma is a business decision more so than a program. In order to assure a company can achieve it's objectives with Lean 6 Sigma, ISP Software, Inc. provides training targeted to the size of your company, and the needs of your organization. We believe any company can benefit from the Lean 6 Sigma methodology if it is implemented in a manner suitable to your organization. ISP Software Solution Providers work with your company in order to develop a training and implementation strategy that meets your objectives. Our onsite or online Lean 6 Sigma sessions will enhance the capabilities of your associates and make them more productive.

Stages of Implementation:

Onsite or Online 6 Sigma Executive Overview: The Executive Overview is a 1 day course targeted at executive level management who are contemplating the implementation of a Six Sigma Program, or for those executives that wish to understand the benefit potential of Six Sigma. This course will provide executives with information related to:

• 6 Sigma History
• Data Driven Decision Making
• Six Sigma Resource Requirements
• What to expect from a Six Sigma Program
• Promotion of Six Sigma within the Organization
• Certification Process
• ISP Software's Partnership for Success Philosophy

Onsite or Online Lean 6 Sigma Green Belt Training:

The Green Belt Training Course is structured similar to the Black Belt Training Course with emphasis on the 5 phase project management steps of: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. The Green Belt Training Course stresses the appropriate tool usage without going in-depth into the statistic. During this course, participants will learn the various tools and techniques used throughout the five-phase DMAIC approach to 6 Sigma. Our Green Belt Training program may be structured to best fit the needs of your organization. Typically Green Belt Training is scheduled for 2 sessions of 3 days each. A break of 4 weeks is scheduled between the two events to allow the participants time to use the skills gained during the first week of training by applying them to a project. Green Belt Training Courses may also be scheduled for 5 consecutive days.

Define - Participants will gain knowledge on the appropriate method of defining the customer, identifying the critical measurements and defect definition, setting project objectives, developing project time lines, documenting the problem statement or reason to pursue the project, process mapping, establishing cost savings, team management, and project documentation.

Measure - Participants will gain knowledge in identifying process/product inputs and outputs, prioritizing the inputs, the appropriate tools to use to measure for the baseline, identifying the critical to customer measurements, process variation, and measurement systems analysis.

Analyze - Participants will gain knowledge in analyzing the data collected during the measure phase. They will then be able to quantify the opportunity for improvement and refine the problem statement and project objectives, through the elimination of potential inputs.

Improve - Participants will gain knowledge in how to apply statistical tools to identify the best solution to achieve the project objectives based eliminating or reducing the variation in the process. During the improve Green Belts will develop plans to eliminate the root cause of the customer defects and establish a plan for implementation.

Control - Participants will gain knowledge to execute the plan by determining the best approach to achieve the targets. Participants will learn the difference between hard controls and soft controls and how to evaluate which controls will be the most valuable.

Onsite or Online Lean 6 Sigma Black Belt Training - Participants will learn every step of successfully identifying and implementing a Six Sigma Project. This Six Sigma Black Belt Training Course covers all the tools listed above for Green Belts with the addition of in-depth analysis of the statistical tools, project management, project identification, identifying road blocks, financial project analysis, and process optimization. This course is taught in four sessions of 1 week each at a pace consistent with the completion of a project. Through the use of practical examples, simulations, and lecture the participants will obtain the skills necessary to be successful within their organization. Progress on the participants projects will be evaluated at the beginning of each training session.
