This Six Sigma Black Belt training course will enable a delegate to understand, to an expert level, the necessary business improvement skills and tools required to manage Six Sigma implementation projects. The training course will start at an advanced level, so delegates will be expected to have attended the Green Belt stage.
Six Sigma is a set of business improvement tools and techniques used to reduce the likelihood of defects occurring. The system follows the DMAIC methodology of Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, and Control. At each stage, delegates are provided with a toolkit of process improvement techniques, such as Root Cause analysis, Poka Yoke mistake proofing, and Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
This Six Sigma Black Belt training course is split into two 5-day training blocks, followed by a project guided by a Six Sigma Master Black Belt. The course will cover the key tools and techniques of Six Sigma, as well as Six Sigma project management and leadership development. This equips delegates with the necessary skills and knowledge to lead process improvement projects.
Delegates that successfully complete this course will be classed as Six Sigma experts and will be awarded with a certificate to demonstrate this.
Please note that laptops will be required for the duration of the course.
