COMmon SIx sigma Questions

Simply stated, in twelve words or less, Lean Six Sigma is a problem-solving

methodology that improves performance.

Absolutely, hands down!  Six sigma training will help you compete in the workplace marketplace.  Search for roles on Indeed or your favorite job board and you will see for yourself.

Most companies desire to lower cost, make processes more efficient, reduce defects

and in the process achieve enhanced customer satisfaction. All these measures lead

to both customer loyalty and greater company profitability and growth. Think of the

concept of Lean Six Sigma as a GPS (global positioning system). Lean Six Sigma,

using the analogy of a GPS, operates as a navigational system and provides a road

map for achieving excellence and close to perfection results in business operations.

Use of a company’s own data coupled with statistical analysis, management,

employees, and teams can continuously improve business processes. These combined efforts invariably lead to a destination or desired future state of waste reduction, fewer defects, lower cost with resultant impacts of improving both profits and customer satisfaction.

Lean Six Sigma courses are presented in several formats. For most of our classes,

we offer public online training for individuals and company groups. If there is a

request for onsite training for private groups, our team can accommodate

recognizing pandemic protocols. Our team accommodates your busy schedule by

offering varied attendance options allowing for both day and evening classes for the

White Belt and weekend, day and evening schedules for the Yellow and Green Belt

classes. Please feel free to visit our website at https://getleansixsigma.com/six-sigma and browse our convenient timing of training offerings available for individuals or corporate teams.

both personally and professionally. Additionally, the earning potential is remarkably

high after completing requirements for the Lean Six Sigma Yellow, Green and Black

Belt certifications. A key question to ask yourself…Do I enjoy solving problems? Am I

a natural Problem Solver? Is working with data enjoyable? If the answer is Yes, this

certification may be ideal for you, your development and career progression.

Eligibility requirements for certification can depend on the type of lean six sigma belt sought. A combination of your work experience, formal education and passion will guide you to the type of belt you should seek.

The cost of Lean Six Sigma training depends on the belt sought. Although the cost for our certification classes is very reasonable, an expectation is that the expense, time commitment and certification requirement may increase and correlate with each higher belt level.  Please feel free to visit our website for costs shown for each belt level.

The success of a Lean Six Sigma initiative begins with top management and cascades to employees and throughout the entire company. When senior management embraces Lean Six Sigma and is fully engaged in the transformation of the company, everyone wins, and a successful implementation is guaranteed. Implementation of Lean Six Sigma is a paradigm shift. It changes a company’s culture, speaking a different language (of continuous improvement) and an overall favorable shift in operations. Management and teams are involved, and end results experienced are fewer defects, reduce waste and costs, increase profits, and improve overall customer satisfaction. The successful application of Lean Six Sigma requires engagement of the entire team, following flawlessly the five step DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) prescribed methodology, embracing change and working together to both identify and eradicate Waste and remain in a continuous improvement mode. Progressive senior management insist that all employees take the White Belt training. Oftentimes, senior management may institute their own specialized lean six training for Yellow, Green and Black belt certification. Certainly, for most companies, the adoption of Lean Six Sigma can

influence the company culture in a very favorable and progressive manner.

Our team encourages our students to continue to speak the Lean Six Sigma

language, use the many tools, engage with other Lean Six Sigma professionals and most importantly, seek as many projects as possible to apply the tools and

techniques. If seeking a career change, the more projects completed using the tools, the greater success in obtaining a top pay role and performing excellently any project assigned.

Google and check out your local Lean Six Sigma professional groups. Lean Six

Sigma Blogs are a great resource for staying in touch with continuous improvement techniques. 

This is a very common question, and the simple answer is no, there is no governing body that oversees Lean Six Sigma Certification, yet! This creates variations and many companies to create Six Sigma computer based trainings.  We offer a virtual / lecture class room setting delivered by Master blackbelts who use the skills and concepts in the corporate works place.
