Lean Six Sigma is a modern combination of business improvement methodologies suited to both manufacturing and transactional companies in all business sectors. Traditional Lean Enterprise generally focuses on removal of waste and traditional Six Sigma project focus is generally understanding the root cause and the reduction of variation. By combining the two, the result is reduced variation, improved quality, and removal of waste with increased velocity of throughput. The IQMS/TEC Lean Six Sigma training courses are modular programmes delivered by IQMS/TEC tutors and experienced Six Sigma Master Black Belts with the requisite qualifications to deliver training, mentoring and consulting.
Modules 1, 2, 3 and 4 total 20 days in four 5 day blocks approximately 1 month apart. Completion of all 4 Lean Six Sigma Modules will develop the skills and application of the Six Sigma methodology and tools to an advanced level. Six Sigma Black Belts are typically leaders sometimes with full time responsibility for implementing process improvement projects within the business. With a thorough understanding of the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control) model the delegate will be in a position to lead business improvements.

The course syllabi can be linked to on-site mentoring to ensure that newly acquired skills can be used immediately to drive forward sustainable improvement programmes. It is therefore recommended that delegates bring a laptop computer to modules 3 and 4; software will be provided. Ideally individuals should link their Lean Six Sigma training to their own business improvement projects so that newly acquired skills can be used immediately. If required, on-site mentoring can be provided as an addition to any of the Lean six sigma modules to suit the individual projects (complexity and pace). Mentoring can take the form of:-
- Assistance with the particular step of Lean-Six Sigma
- On-site awareness training for the Lean-Six Sigma project team and the management team
- Overview and review of a Lean-Six Sigma project
In-House Courses
Offering better value for money, they can be customised and designed to match your individual specific requirements.
