Establish Lean Six Sigma Methodology Workshop (Skillsfuture funded)

The 4.5-Day Establishing Lean Six Sigma Workshop (aka Green Belt Workshop), adopts an in-depth experiential learning methodology that covers the what, why and how of Lean Six Sigma Process Improvement. Following the flow of Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control, participants learn a wide array of business skills and tools that drive results-oriented change and apply them to real-life improvement projects. 

  • At the end of this programme, participants will be able to:

    1. Develop a foundational understanding of the Lean Six Sigma initiative and its core concepts and tools

    2. Learn to apply the Lean Six Sigma model: Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control (DMAIC) to improve productivity using a simulated case example

Statistics for Lean Six Sigma (Skillsfuture Funded)

The 3.5-Day Applying Statistics for Lean Six Sigma Workshop (aka Black Belt Workshop), builds measurement and analytical skills that enable more refined and sophisticated use of data. The future skills are in our ability to make sense of data that are collected and making sense of it in the competitive manner. Inference Statistics become the “power tools” that practitioners can apply when charts, graphs and “descriptive” data methods fall short.

  • The workshop aims to fulfil the following:

    1. Solidify understanding of fundamental principles of data and statistical analysis

    2. Assess and manage data integrity, whether for projects or ongoing process metrics

    3. Organize/format data as needed to conduct meaningful analyses

    4. Identify and formulate critical questions or hypotheses to be investigated through statistical analysis and experimentation

    5. Teach participants a variety of valuable analytical methods, including their basic purpose and principles, when and where to use them, and how to execute the appropriate tests

  • Day 1

    • Statistical principle and term used for Data Analysis

    • Overview of Minitab Software and its functions

    • Building a Data Collection Plan

    Day 2

    • Conducting Measurement System Analysis (MSA)

    • Measuring Baseline - Process Capability for Continuous Data

    • Application of hypothesis tools for different type of data analysis (session 1)

    Day 3

    • Application of hypothesis tools for different type of data analysis (Session 2)

    • Conducting a 2 Level Factorial Design of Experiment

    Day 4
