Training Options
Getting the information you need to make better decisions
Black Belt
This training is intended for individuals that are engaged in the development and production of products. Typically, these people fill the engineering, research and development, manufacturing and quality roles in an organization. This program teaches participants the skill-set required to rapidly acquire knowledge so that better decisions can be made regarding the product design and manufacturing processes.
While an improvement methodology roadmap is utilized to provide participants with a systematic approach, the primary focus of the training is focused on critical thinking and the correct application of analytical techniques to address business critical issues within the organization.
Example Projects
Optimization of Hip Stem profile to maximize range of motion and longevity, evaluate alternate airfoil designs to optimize aerodynamic performance, reduce scrap and rework in the foundry, reduce the cost associated with destructive testing of biologic products, etc.
Duration
Four weeks of training spread across a four month period. Each week of training is followed by a three to four week application phase, where the candidates are expected to apply the methodoly and techniques to their project. This application is then evaluated and critiqued during the project review portion of the next training week.
Green Belt
This training is intended for individuals who are working to improve processes that are transactional in nature. There
are many improvement opportunities associated with business processes and typically these projects do not require the
use of the entire Black Belt tool set. For example, projects from Human Resources, Sales, Purchasing and Accounting
typically do not require the use of DOE. It is costly and inefficient to focus on the entire Black Belt tool set for
people working on these types of projects.
Our Green Belt program spends more time on the tools required to be successful on these types of projects, resulting
in cost reductions to the client and less frustration for the participants who do not want to spend time learning tools
that they are unlikely to utilize.
Example Projects
Surgical center uptime improvement, sales force effectiveness improvement, call center defect reduction, employee selection and onboarding improvement, etc.
Duration
Two weeks of training spread across a two month period. Each 4-day week of training is followed by a three to four week application phase, where the candidates are expected to apply the methodology and techniques to their project. This application is then evaluated and critiqued during the project review portion of the next training week.
Senior Leadership
The Senior Leadership Team plays a key role in developing the deployment strategy and monitoring the impact of the improvement efforts. The Senior Leadership Workshop is designed to provide this team with an overview of the improvement methodology and to highlight key deployment considerations. The session also provides a forum to discuss the monitoring strategy that will be used to evaluate the performace of the overall program. The duration of this workshop is one to two hours.
Champion Training
Mid-level managers are critical to a successful deployment. These individuals must understand the keys to selecting good projects and candidates. Additionally, they play an important role in driving the projects to completion. The Champion Training is designed to debunk common myths assoicated with Six Sigma, provide an overview of the tools and methodology, and most importantly to provide guidance on project/candidate selection and their role in managing the projects. The duration of this training is 8 hours.
Open Enrollment
Six Sigma Solutions International occasionally offers open enrollment classes for smaller organizations or individuals who want to get certified as Green Belts or Black Belts. These classes are usually limited to 16 participants.
At this time, there are not any open enrollment classes scheduled.
