Accelerated Lean Sigma Black Belt Training Wave
Description:
A common desire with most executives and deployment leaders is for the projects in their Lean Sigma deployments to go more quickly. SBTI’s Accelerated methodology achieves that by insertion of two focused acceleration events into the regular Lean Sigma roadmap.
Discovery Event: Oftentimes Lean Sigma projects are slow to get going. A two (2) day event, shortly after the project launch, is aimed at quickly understanding the process through mapping techniques, developing the primary data collection plans and identifying any obvious quick hits.
Implementation Event: Many Lean Sigma projects are also slow at the point of implementation in the Improve Phase. A (typically) four (4) day event is used to develop the detailed design, implement the solution and set the rudimentary controls in place.
SBTI’s training in Accelerated Lean Sigma provides the strong foundation of traditional Lean Sigma, but with training and hands-on guidance and experience in executing the Discovery and Implementation Events.
Benefits:
- Understanding of the process and tools of Accelerated Lean Sigma
- Ability to deliver project results within/across processes
- Scoped and defined project
- Ability to lead Process Improvement teams
- Delegates learn how to prepare for, conduct and drive implementation of Discovery and Implementation Events (one as team member, one as co-leader)
- Accelerate existing Lean Sigma projects (4-6 projects possible vs. the typical 2-3 Lean-Sigma projects per year)
