Learning From Lean Six Sigma Training

By Essie Osborn


The manufacturing business relies heavily on quality control when it comes to making their products because without good quality products, there will be no money that will be learned. Now those who would want to be very effective in product manufacturing, the lean six sigma method is one of the most effective method of them all. Now if one would want to learn this method, he needs to learn from a lean six sigma training program.

Now when one would first start his training, he has to first take note that this type of method comes from two separate methods put together to form one. These two methods are known as the lean manufacturing method and the six sigma method. They were combined so that companies who use them together would reach optimal productivity.

Now the first of the two that the trainer would be discussing would be the lean manufacturing method. If one is a beginner in this method, then this type of session will shed some light on it. In a nutshell, this method is a manufacturing method that would help lower down the total costs of production while still maintaining or increasing quality which would in turn result in an increase in profits.

If that method would concentrate on trying to improve the product while reducing costs, the six sigma method deals more on the process of manufacturing. The whole purpose of the six sigma is to simply make sure that there all the processes in the entire manufacturing process are efficient. If there are any processes that would cause defects, they must be eliminated.

Now when one would know about how the two methods individually work, then the next thing that they would be learning would be how to apply them individually as well. A student of this method would be given some business cases that would allow him to grasp situations. That way, he will know how he is to apply these concepts properly.

After he has already studied how each of them individually work, then he may now start with integrating them. Now when they are combined, one will be learning the DMAIC process which is simply define, measure, analyze, improve, and control method. The main goal here is total elimination of useless processes and total optimization.

Now if one is not familiar with how this works, basically one just has to first know the problem and measure how grave the situation is. After taking care of the problem, then one has to analyze it carefully and then create a solution. After creating a solution, one has to think of how to improve the overall process and of course how to create a system that will help maintain the process.

So basically, that is how this type of method actually works. Now the levels of the mastery of one in this art would mimic that of the ranking in martial arts. Basically, the ranking for this would be white belt, yellow belt, green belt, black belt, and the last one would be the master black belt wherein one is already a master of this method.
