Lean Management + Lean Manufacturing for Lean Six Sigma Training & CertificationPurpose of this Lean Management (which also includes Lean Manufacturing) training and certificationSix Sigma Academy Amsterdam was set up by a group of university lecturers/Lean Six Sigma Master black belts from Holland to make a change in Lean Six Sigma training and certification with the following characteristics: making the Lean Management (and Lean Manufacturing) for Six Sigma training and certification so that we bring accredited academic level education to your home. making the Lean Management (and Lean Manufacturing) for Six Sigma training and certification affordable. making the Lean Management (and Lean Manufacturing) for Six Sigma training and certification so that it is fun and engaging. Education is notsuffering. making the Lean Management (and Lean Manufacturing) for Six Sigma training so that it is highly practical. We have eliminated the non-practical parts from the Lean Six Sigma training and focus on the practical parts. We do not just open some silly book about Lean Six Sigma and read it out loud to you. We know what is used in Lean Six Sigma practice. ASQ and IASSC aligned. Upon completing this course you earn 1 CEU credit, which is equal to 10 PDUs if you are one of our students who is trying to maintain a PMI license. So far, we have trained and certified over 100,000 students worldwide. Brief description of this courseThis course aims to make you Lean Management (and Lean Manufacturing) certified, after which you can continue the process to become a certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. There is a lot of confusion out there as to the order of the process which leads to Lean Six Sigma Black Belt which is considered to be the end station (for most) in terms of Lean Six Sigma training. If you wish to finish the entire journey, the preferred route is this:1. Lean Management + Lean Manufacturing for Six Sigma training and certification2. Lean Six Sigma White Belt + Yellow Belt training and certification3. Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training and certification4. Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training and certification What is this course about?Lean Management (which also includes Lean Manufacturing) is a separate methodology from Six Sigma. When people introduce themselves as a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, that means that they are certified in Lean Management and subsequently have obtained their Six Sigma white belt, Six Sigma green belt and Six Sigma black belt. How do Lean and Six Sigma relate? Lean Management is a Japanese methodology that aims to reduce waste. Waste is defined as any activity that does not add value for the customer. Many of the Lean practices and tools are actually used in Six Sigma. Lean Management feeds Six Sigma. Lean Management will help you cut costs drastically, regardless of sector (manufacturing or services).What are some of the concrete things that you will learn?Lean Six Sigma technique: Recognize and mitigate the 7+1 forms of wasteLean Six Sigma technique: Apply 5S to improve layoutLean Six Sigma technique: Apply OEE (overall equipment effectiveness) to quantify wasteLean Six Sigma technique: Apply Littles Law to understand waiting linesLean Six Sigma technique: Apply Lean visualsLean Six Sigma technique: Draw Value Stream Maps and visualize supply chain problemsLean Six Sigma technique: Make use of Kanban to streamline communicationLean Six Sigma technique: Mitigate bottlenecks and speed up your processLean Six Sigma technique: Optimize cycle times to reduce costsLean Six Sigma technique: Draw and use the QFD House Of Quality to design products and servicesLean Six Sigma technique: Move from Push to Pull production to reduce wasteLean Six Sigma technique: Implement a Just In Time (JIT) production system and minimize your inventoryLean Six Sigma technique: Apply production leveling (Heijunka) and respond to customers fasterLean Six Sigma technique: Apply Poka Yoke and make your products and services mistake-proofLean Six Sigma technique: Apply Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) and switch production fasterLean Six Sigma technique: Apply Jidoka principle to quickly find abnormalitiesLean Six Sigma technique: Improve supply chainsWe hope to welcome you soon.
