Foundations of Six Sigma and Corporate Context
Module 1: Lean Six Sigma Philosophy: Explore the history and business value of the methodology. Learn about process capability, defects, and variation. Discover how Lean (waste reduction) and Six Sigma (variation reduction) complement each other.
Module 2: Roles and Deployment: Understand the belt hierarchy, including the duties of Champions, Black Belts, Green Belts, and Yellow Belts. Learn how projects are chosen and how to measure success through financial savings.
Module 3: Teamwork and Your Role: Understand how you fit into larger projects as a Yellow Belt. Learn to manage meetings and provide value to DMAIC projects led by more senior Belts.
The Define Phase: Clarifying the Problem
Module 1: Project Charters and Selection: Learn to prioritize projects using impact/effort matrices. Master the parts of a project charter, such as goal statements, problem statements, and scope. Practice writing clear problem statements.
Module 2: Hearing the Customer (VOC): Learn to use interviews and surveys to find out what customers need. Translate feedback into Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) requirements and distinguish between stated and hidden needs.
Module 3: High-Level Mapping: Use SIPOC diagrams to define the boundaries of a process. Create high-level maps to identify major steps and learn when detailed mapping is actually necessary.
The Measure Phase: Assessing the Current State
Module 1: Basics of Data Collection: Learn the difference between discrete and continuous data. Master sampling techniques and create operational definitions and data plans that ensure everyone collects information the same way.
Module 2: Performance Metrics: Learn to calculate and use yield, process cycle time, DPU, and DPMO. Understand how to use Cp and Cpk indices to measure process capability.
Module 3: Evaluating Measurement Systems: Learn why data must be trustworthy. This module covers stability, bias, precision, and accuracy. You will also perform basic gage R&R studies to ensure your data is reliable.
The Analyze Phase: Discovering Root Causes
Module 1: Value Stream and Process Analysis: Create swimlane diagrams to see delays and handoffs. Use value stream mapping to find non-value-added tasks and calculate the efficiency of your process cycle.
Module 2: Root Cause Investigation Tools: Master the 5 Whys to get past symptoms. Use Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagrams to categorize potential causes and Pareto Analysis to focus on the most important issues.
Module 3: Introductory Statistics: Learn to calculate and use standard deviation, mean, mode, median, and range. Understand the normal distribution and learn to read histograms, run charts, and control charts.
Improvement, Control, and Lean Core Concepts
Module 1: Implementing Solutions: Learn brainstorming methods that go beyond just "trying harder." Use matrices to pick the best ideas and create implementation plans with clear timelines and owners. Understand the value of piloting a change.
Module 2: Maintaining Gains (Control Phase): Build control plans to make sure improvements last. Learn about visual management and monitoring techniques. Understand how to document standard work and train others on new processes.
Module 3: Lean Thinking and Waste: Master the 8 wastes (DOWNTIME). Learn the 5S system for workplace organization. Explore basic concepts like continuous flow, kanban, and pull systems as better ways to manage work.
