At the end of the five day programme delegates will understand and be able to:

• Apply the principles of the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC performance improvement model.

• Recognise the difference in approach and techniques for incremental and redesign improvement strategies and know how to decide on the correct approach.
• Establish ongoing process controls and process governance structures.

At the heart of Lean Six Sigma improvement and redesign activities are project teams. These teams will consist of people who want to use their knowledge and skills to improve the performance of processes and the business. Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training is focused on team members understanding and applying the Define Measure Analyse Improve and Control model which is the foundation of all Lean Six Sigma projects. The focus of Six Sigma is fundamentally about quality, customer focus and cost, where as Lean is about value, cost and speed.

This course blends a number of Lean concepts and tools into the Six Sigma DMAIC model, it has a stronger focus on process rather data analysis. The team leaders and team members are the brains and muscle behind the Lean Six Sigma programme it is critical that they are equipped with the appropriate skills and tools to enable them to deliver current and future improvements.
