Six Sigma / Lean Six Sigma Program

Program Overview and Format

Elimination of waste and improved process capabilities are common goals of both Lean and Six Sigma. The integration of these systems provides a process improvement methodology that addresses the responsiveness and capability of the entire value delivery system. Through aggressive identification and elimination of non-value added activities (waste), optimum value flow is achieved. Cycle times are reduced and defects removed. Travel distances, inventories, set-up times, equipment downtime, scrap, rework, and other wastes of the "hidden factory” are attacked. Lean focuses on delivered value from a customer's prospective through the entire supply chain. Six Sigma is a proven, statistically based problem solving process that generates superior data driven solutions, productive yields, and dramatic bottom-line results. The objectives of our Lean Six Sigma training are to teach organizations to:

• Reduce time to market for new products
• Reduce delivery time
• Reduce waste and costs
• Reduce work-in-process inventory
• Reduce variability
• Increase profits and customer satisfaction

The training program will consist of the following modules to be delivered over a 3-4 month period.

• Lean Six Sigma assessment
• Management overview/strategy and deployment training
• Twelve (12) days Green Belt training
• Kaizen event training and facilitation
• Twelve (12) days Black Belt training

Our Lean Six Sigma program is instructor-led and will involve participants in extensive interactive training. Participants will be exposed in depth to each topic through classroom assignments and structured shop floor exercises within team environments. Each team will perform a Kaizen event in an area as selected by the executive management team.
