| Course Content |
Continuous Improvement (CI) has been part of business practice for decades. Essentially CI is a ‘change for the better’. Sometimes we perform these changes as part of our day-to-day business activities, other times we need to have a specific goal or objective to achieve that takes the form of a project.
Lean Six Sigma Green Belts are vital assets to any business. They are key employees equipped with specialist tools to make these ‘changes for the better’ happen. Utilising a vast array of tools, Lean Six Sigma focuses on improving speed and quality of a product or service, regardless of the industrial sector or size of the business, helping a business in becoming better and faster, providing a greater value product to the customer.
Lean Six Sigma Green Belts are extremely flexible weapons in reducing costs. They can lead cost reduction projects, simply be project team members or use Lean Six Sigma tools whilst performing key everyday activities. Green Belts help a business in becoming better and faster. Green Belts impact the bottom line.
Green Belt Training includes Lean, Six Sigma and Change Management tools and methodologies. The training focuses on utilising the most common Lean Six Sigma and Change Management tools in the execution of medium complexity projects. The format of the training will be tutor led. The training is very interactive thus there is a lot of emphasis on group dynamics and ensuring the attendees participate and interact with the trainer and each other. The training is conducted through presentations, simulations, role plays, group exercises,
discussions and case studies. |
