About This Course

During the last couple of decades small, mid-sized and Fortune 500 companies have embraced Six Sigma to generate more profit and greater savings. So what is Six Sigma?

Six Sigma is a data-driven approach for eliminating defects and waste in any business process. You can compare Six Sigma with turning your water faucet and experiencing the flow of clean, clear water. Reliable systems are in place to purify, treat, and pressure the water through the faucet. That is what Six Sigma does to business: it treats the processes in business so that they deliver their intended result.

What is “Sigma”? The word is a statistical term that measures how far a given process deviates from perfection. Sigma is a way to measure quality and performance. The central idea behind Six Sigma is that if you can measure how many “defects” you have in a process, you can systematically figure out how to eliminate them and get as close to “zero defects” as possible. This workshop will give participants an overview of the Six Sigma methodology, and some of the tools required to deploy Six Sigma in their own organizations.Please login.

Understanding Lean

Understanding Lean involves focusing on eliminating waste, optimizing processes, and improving efficiency. Lean principles aim to create value for customers by streamlining operations and enhancing overall organizational performance.

Liker’s Toyota Way

Liker’s Toyota Way emphasizes continuous improvement, respect for people, and efficient processes. It focuses on lean principles, including eliminating waste, enhancing quality, and fostering a culture of innovation and teamwork.

The TPS House

The TPS House represents Toyota Production System principles, emphasizing two main pillars: Just-In-Time and Jidoka (automation with a human touch). It aims to achieve efficiency, quality, and continuous improvement in manufacturing.

The Five Principles of Lean Business

The five principles of Lean business are defining customer value, mapping value streams, ensuring smooth flow, producing based on demand, and continuously improving to eliminate waste and achieve perfection.

The First Improvement Concept (Value)

The first improvement concept in Lean, **Value**, involves identifying what is truly valuable to the customer. By focusing on these value aspects, organizations can eliminate non-essential activities and enhance customer satisfaction.

The Second Improvement Concept (Waste)

The second improvement concept in Lean, **Waste**, involves identifying and eliminating non-value-adding activities. By reducing waste in processes, organizations can streamline operations, improve efficiency, and enhance overall productivity and quality.

The Third Improvement Concept (Variation)

The third improvement concept in Lean, **Variation**, involves reducing inconsistencies in processes. By minimizing variation, organizations ensure more predictable outcomes, improve quality, and enhance overall efficiency and reliability in production.

The Fourth Improvement Concept (Complexity)

The fourth improvement concept in Lean, **Complexity**, involves simplifying processes and eliminating unnecessary complexity. By streamlining operations, organizations can enhance efficiency, reduce errors, and improve overall productivity and ease of management.

The Fifth Improvement Concept (Continuous Improvement)

The fifth improvement concept in Lean, **Continuous Improvement**, focuses on ongoing enhancements to processes. By regularly evaluating and refining operations, organizations drive incremental gains in efficiency, quality, and overall performance.

The Improvement Toolkit

The Improvement Toolkit includes methods and tools such as value stream mapping, root cause analysis, Kaizen, 5S, and statistical process control. These tools help identify and address inefficiencies, optimize processes, and drive continuous improvement.
