Course Details:
-
The course opens by setting the scene: why everyone needs Lean Six Sigma, the principles that underpin the approach, and how taking a structured route with DMAIC brings discipline and rigour to solving process problems.
-
The main body of the course introduces the building blocks of Lean Six Sigma in manageable, story-based chunks. Delegates learn about problem statements and how to define a process using SIPOC, then explore the voice of the customer and how to identify and define improvement opportunities. The course introduces the eight wastes, and the importance of fact-based decision making. Delegates are introduced to root cause analysis techniques, solution generation, and the practices needed to sustain improvements once they are made. Interactive quizzes, exercises and reflection points reinforce each concept along the way.
-
The course closes by helping delegates think about what comes next, with suggestions for practical activities and future learning so they can build on this introduction and continue developing their continuous improvement skills.
