Core concepts
For Chief and Senior Executives streamlining business processes and increasing efficiency is top of mind. This requires a solid understanding of current and future business processes and business objectives. Lean Six Sigma is a rigorous, disciplined methodology that identifies, measures, and improves the performance of an organisation's business processes through the use of organisational data and statistical analysis.
With the aim to:
- Eliminate waste;
- Reduce process variation;
- Increase customer satisfaction; and
- Increase profitability and competitiveness.
Through the use of case studies, this hands-on course coaches participants to fix prevalent process issues by applying the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, and Control) approach. Participants will put various statistical analysis techniques into practice via supervised exercises. The content in this course is aligned with the Universally Accepted Lean Six Sigma Body of Knowledge for Green Belts, developed by the International Association for Six Sigma Certification (IASSC).
