• Green Belt
• Black Belt
• Master Black Belt

 

An Executive Review of Six Sigma Program:
This one-day interactive hands-on training designed for the executives (President, VP, Directors, Managers, etc.). This course is designed to understand the six sigma concept, methodology, benefits, roles & responsibilities, and implementation road map which will guide you to enhance your current management system to get the best out of your company, your people, and your facilities.

The course covers the followings:

• Introduction to Six Sigma
• Strategic view
• Relationship between QMS and Six Sigma
• Benchmarking of Six Sigma Processes
• Deployment Strategy, Roles and Responsibilities
• Governance Model
• Training and Certification Requirements
• Overview of measure, analyze, improve and control
• Project selection and Implementation

 

Six Sigma Leader/Champions:
This 3 days interactive hands-on training designed to make the Six Sigma leader/champion to become a leader to lead the overall Six Sigma program. Six Sigma leader/champion is responsible for coordinating a business roadmap to achieve Six Sigma. Selects project, execute control, and alleviate roadblocks for the Six Sigma projects in his or her area of responsibility.

This three days course is designed to understand:

• What is the Six Sigma process
• How the leading Six Sigma companies are achieving high performance results
• How to adopt Six Sigma continuous improvement model
• How to quantify the potential financial impact on the business
• How to integrate with existing quality management system (QMS)
• How to develop, deploy and maintain a successful Six Sigma initiatives
• Project planning, selection and review
• Project management
• Model for improvement
• Statistical tools
• Six Sigma performance analysis and reporting
• Effective team development

 

Green Belt (certification optional):
This one weeks interactive hands-on training designed to make the green belt to become a team leader and implement six sigma methodology and tools to impact the results of improvement projects. Green Belt normally concentrates short and long run projects within own department.

• Six sigma introduction
• Green Belt program (requirements)
• Project selection and review
• Project planning and deliverables
• Effective team Development
• Measurement analysis process (COPQ, RTY, PPM, etc.)
• Model and Methods for improvement
• PDCA cycles
• Process improvement model
• Define
• Measurement
• Analysis
• Improvement
• Control
• Quality tools (affinity diagram, brain storming, cause & effect diagram, forced field analysis, Pareto, process mapping, run chart, scatter plot, etc.)
• Basic statistical tools
• Introduction of planned experimentation (i.e. DOE)
• Measurement System Analysis
• Process control methods
• Control charts (variable and attribute)
• Process capability
• Control plan
• Failure mode effect analysis (FMEA)
• Quality management system (QMS)
• Individual project review

 

Black Belt (certification optional):
This three to four weeks interactive hands-on training designed to make the black belt to become a team leader and implement six sigma methodology and tools to impact the results of major improvement projects. Also, this course prepares the BB to coach and mentor green belt and other organizational strategy for improvements.

The curriculum is as follows:

• Statistical tools:
• The nature of data
• The histogram
• Normal curve
• The standard deviation
• The Z distribution
• The t distribution
• Six sigma statistics
• Six sigma scorecard
• Nature of variables
• Nature of problems
• Hypothesis testing

Master Black Belt (MBB):
MBB certification receives intensive training in quantitative and qualitative analytical skill after successful completion of BB program. Normally, it takes at least one year to complete the program. After the certification the MBB should be able to lead overall Six Sigma program for the entire organization.
