About our LEAN SIX SIGMA TRAINING

Lean Six Sigma

Our training materials are complete packages for Lean Six Sigma training covering the full spectrum of the Six Sigma D.M.A.I.C. methodology. We provide Black Belt, Green Belt, and Yellow Belt curricula. Each curriculum has been reviewed and accredited by the Council for Six Sigma Certifications to meet the standards met by all other reputable Six Sigma training providers. Our content aligns with both the International Association of Six Sigma Certification (IASSC) and the American Society of Quality (ASQ) bodies of knowledge making it perfect for test or exam preparation.

More importantly, by building on standard bodies of knowledge, students will get the training needed to complete projects and solve problems critical to the needs of any business or organization.

Our Lean Six Sigma training material products also include data files that match every data analysis example shown throughout the curriculum. These data files enable you to follow every step by step example contained within the curriculum. Additionally, these packages also include our Tools & Templates file containing various Six Sigma templates. You’ll find these tools useful for projects and other uses. Templates provided are contained in the zip file.

Our training materials are available in two different software versions that reflect the latest statistical software references using Minitab 18 or JMP 13. So choose one of two versions, each using a different statistical software package to generate the examples displayed throughout the curriculum.

Our training material will provide an outstanding reference manual for both learning and maintaining the Lean Six Sigma methodology and skill set. Students will learn how to complete improvement projects critical to your business’ success and impact the bottom line. If you value certification, this training material is perfect for exam preparation or coaching others to pass their exam. A completed project reviewed and approved by a Master Black Belt is required for Black Belt and Green Belt certification. If you want to become a Six Sigma Black Belt, Green Belt, or Yellow belt, these training packages provide everything you need to begin your career-advancing journey.

ACCREDITATION

Six Sigma Certification

Our Lean Six Sigma training material curriculum and body of knowledge is aligned to ASQ, IASSC and more importantly, accredited by the Council for Six Sigma Certification.

CLASSROOM TRAINING

Classroom training

Classroom training for Black Belt is typically two weeks. 4.5 days each week. With three to four weeks between each training week. Training includes over 1600 slides.

This format is flexible. For example, the client might wish to have three training sessions. The training sessions are three days each with 21 days in between for application and doing. The first session is Define Measure, the second is Analyze, the third is Improve Control.

Green Belt training is typically one week of 4.5 days. Training includes over 1000 slides.

Classroom training for Green Belt and Black Belt includes a case study that allows the student to practice all five phases of the Lean Six Sigma methodology using simulated data, team report outs, and reviews. This case study helps the student to integrate all the learning together and to think through the logic of the methodology.

Yellow belt training is typically three days. Training material includes over 550 slides.

DEPLOYMENT

Deployment

Research shows that only about 30% of improvement initiatives are successful. The number one reason for this is lack of leadership buy-in. And the leadership cites the lack of visible results of the initiative as why they do not buy-in. Our operational excellence system solves this problem. Not only does it provide for all of your training needs but it also provides that visibility senior leadership needs for seeing the financial impact of Lean Six Sigma as it is deployed.

It will be fully customized for your company and entirely “white label”. Our online platform will centralize all of your program elements allowing your teams to focus on value and execution, not infrastructure and administration

  • Classroom and eLearning Training Content
  • A dashboard for monitoring progress to business goals
  • Project and Program Management
  • Online Calendar for Training and Program Events
  • Class scheduling
  • Document management
  • Registration Forms for Training Participants
  • Immediately Available Resources in Once Place:
  • Tools
  • Templates
  • Roadmaps
  • “How To” Articles
  • Glossary

Branded for Your Company and hosted by Value Creation Institute, Deploy OpEx is a customized online solution for operational excellence programs or Six Sigma project management needs. We have combined our globally recognized and accredited training content with our operational excellence deployment experience to create the best solution for coordinating and managing a successful operational excellence program.
