LEAN/SIX SIGMA SERIES
LEAN 100 COURSES
6σ
Training focuses on specific lean/six sigma topics
Lean 100 – Waste Identification and
Elimination
All processes contain a certain amount of wasteful activity. These
wastes adversely impact process velocity and productivity. This
course teaches participants how to identify, quantify and drive
costly wastes out of their current processes. The Fundamental
Lean concepts of this course apply to all business/service sectors
and have shown substantial financial returns. 3 Hrs
Lean 101 – Lean Manufacturing with
Simulation
This is a hands-on highly interactive course designed to make
Lean Manufacturing principals easy to learn and apply.
Participants will run, analyze and improve their own air plane
factory. This eye opening experience is the gateway to direct
improvement and financial gains in their organizations. 3 Hrs
Lean 102 – Lean Office with Simulation
Many believe that Lean is just for manufacturing. But it is now
apparent in today’s business settings that office layouts, as well as
transactional processes, all have an inherent amount of waste.
This waste stifles performance and drives down customer
satisfaction. This course is designed to illustrate just how much
improvement can be gained through the implementation of Lean
methodologies. Participants will run, analyze & improve their own
business office. 6 Hrs
Lean 103 – Value Stream Mapping
How Lean is your processes? VSM is a Lean tool that maps the
material and information flow through your processes. It clearly
identifies and quantifies sources of waste and constraints in
systems. Participants will learn how to construct a VSM and use it
to identify improvement projects. 3Hrs
Lean 104 – 5s and Standard Work
5s and standard work are often combined concepts that drive
workplace efficiency. This class introduces the concepts of
workplace organization methodologies (5s) and gemba
methodologies (standard work). Participants will learn how
these methodologies help to maintain quality, efficiency, safety
and predictability. 3Hrs
Lean 105- Systematic Root Cause
Analysis
This highly interactive course based on the global 8D concept
will help any problem solver identify the difference between
special and common cause variation, and when to use Six
Sigma over other corrective tools. Then using the SRCA tools
you will learn how to approach and fix special cause problems
using swift and efficient techniques. Multiple case studies will
provide you with a comfortable opportunity to learn a new and
powerful tool. 6 Hrs
Lean 106 – Kaizen Event
Kaizen events are highly focused, short-term projects to
improve a process. These events utilize Lean principles and
quality tools to develop and implement solutions. The usual
Kaizen Event takes 2-5 days. Participants in this course will
conduct a mini (simulation based) Kaizen event. They will learn
the critical steps of planning, implementing and documenting a
Kaizen Event. 3Hrs
Mini Tab® Software Basics
Minitab Statistical Software for quality improvement and data
analysis is the recognized statistical tool used for implementing
Six Sigma. This course will provide trainees the general
knowledge needed to navigate through, insert data, analyze
data, and produce graphs and reports in Minitab 16. 6 Hrs
