Lean Six Sigma White Belt (Online)

What is Lean Six Sigma – and why do so many international organisations use this approach to optimise their processes?

Join this 2 hour introduction and gain an understanding of how Lean and Six Sigma together create a powerful approach to process optimisation. Lean contributes a focus on value creation and the reduction of waste in processes, while Six Sigma adds a data driven and analytical approach to understanding and reducing variation.

You will be introduced to how Lean Six Sigma combines these two perspectives, and how a structured and data driven approach can strengthen your understanding of your processes. At the same time, you will gain insight into how mathematics and statistics – through the well known DMAIC approach – can be used to create stable processes and ensure sustainable improvements based on data.

Gain an overall understanding of the Lean Six Sigma toolbox
Lean Six Sigma is based on a combination of the Lean mindset and the data driven methodology of Six Sigma. Lean helps organisations identify and reduce waste in processes, while Six Sigma provides tools to understand process performance and reduce variation.

Customers experience the variation in a process – not the average performance we deliver. Therefore, it is essential to understand how processes actually perform in practice. In many organisations this is often misunderstood, as measurements and data do not always reflect the customer’s real experience of the process.

With Lean Six Sigma, organisations work both to improve process flow and to ensure a data driven understanding of process performance. This combination makes it possible to create stable processes that meet customer expectations.

The course is highly practical. You will not only be introduced to the concepts, but also presented with concrete examples of how Lean Six Sigma is applied in organisations that work systematically with process optimisation.

Is this education right for you?
This introduction is for anyone interested in process optimisation who would like a fundamental understanding of Lean Six Sigma. You will be introduced to the key principles of Lean and Six Sigma, learn how the two approaches complement each other, and see examples from organisations that work systematically with data driven process optimisation.

If you are looking for inspiration and an overall understanding of process optimisation – and especially how Lean can be combined with a data driven approach – this introduction will be relevant for you.
