Lean Six Sigma is a combination of two methods: Lean, and Six Sigma. The two approaches are designed to improve processes with focus on customer requirements. Lean is a continuous improvement approach that creates flow in a business, and eliminates any waste, or Muda – anything the customer does not want, or is not prepared to pay for. Six Sigma is a set of statistical analysis tools that are used reduce process variations and defects using the DMAIC methodology of Design, Measure, Analyse, Improve, and Control.
This Lean Six Sigma Green Belt foundation training course introduces the topic of Lean and Six Sigma and incorporates the Yellow Belt Six Sigma stage, so no prior training is required. The highly interactive five-day training course is beneficial to all process owners and managers, and will particularly benefit those who want to explore the use of Lean Six Sigma, and who would like to progress to become improvement leaders.
