Black Belt – Lean Six Sigma

To remain a leader in their industry, high performing organisations sustain efforts to improve their key value streams, helping them realise their organisational strategy. Such organisations develop high level capability and skills to deliver strategic change. The Black Belt Program is designed to address this need. Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Project Managers are equipped
to deliver complex improvement projects across an organisation’s business groups. Project Managers will be able to draw on sophisticated business analysis tools, creative solution development techniques, effective facilitation approaches, and business improvement governance models learned through the Lean Sigma Black Belt program.

• Improvement Project Managers with responsibility for complex improvement projects
• Senior Managers with a responsibility for leading improvement programs in an organisation or business unit

Duration: 2 x 5 five days, four weeks apart, but can be tailored to suit specific needs of the organisation. These two further stages in the Black Belt program assume that knowledge and skills from Stage one (Green Belt) are well developed. A number of related streams of learning are addressed over the 2 weeks covering : Organisational Analysis and Project Selection,

Advanced Facilitation and Communication Techniques, Advanced Measurement Planning and Evaluation, Control Chart Construction and Capability Analyses, Planned Experimentation – from One Factor to Fractional Factorial Designs & Advanced Concepts, Creative Solution Development Techniques and Change Management Approaches, and finally Design for SixSigma models and methods.*

The program is intense and highly experiential. Participants have numerous opportunities to work through each element in small groups, which are each coached by an expert Black Belt Facilitator. This builds high competency and high confidence. Minitab and Quality Companion are used as vehicles for learning where appropriate. Temporary licences are provided.

• Lead complex projects requiring coordination across various groups
