This course will teach you the skills you need to complete the Improve Phase of a Lean Six Sigma Project. The course is designed to be taken concurrently while you work on a LSS Project. Our format is based on Train and Do!
Full Description
The Improve Phase course focuses on the development of creative solutions to the verified root causes of the product, process, or service delivery issues. You will learn the importance of pilot testing solutions, the concepts of Gemba Kaizen, and implementation planning and communication strategies. After completion of this course you will be prepared for the Control Phase of DMAIC.
Our premise is to provide the training concurrently while you work on your Lean Six Sigma Project. The format follows a train and do philosophy. You will learn the deliverables, be provided with the templates to get them done, and have Master Black Belt support via e-mail for review and coaching.
Support materials will be available as a download in zip format. We provide files ready to use in the following formats: MS Office Suite OpenOffice.org. If you do not have MS Office, follow our partner links to OpenOffice.Org and download the free suite of productivity tools.
Statistical exercises will require Minitab Statistical Software which is available from our partner as a free 30 day trial, with the option to purchase.
The course will include interactive exercises, quizzes, and exams. There will be a Course Final Exam, which upon completion you will be given a Course Completion Certificate. This course is worth 8 CEU credit hours. Upon completion of your first Lean Six Sigma Project and submission of your Project Report you will be eligible for Green Belt Certification from the Management Development Institute of Missouri State University. Master Black Belt support is available at help@educatevirtually.com
