Process Improvement Training and Certification

Organizations benefit when their lean Six Sigma process improvement training and certification for Green Belts, Black Belts, and Master Black Belts follow a consistent, detailed define-measure-analyze-improve-control (DMAIC) process improvement roadmap.

The Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) approach for training lean Six Sigma belts references the content of a 5-book IEE series. Students can utilize the provided texts long after their training. With IEE lean Six Sigma training, attendees receive much more than a deck of PowerPoint slides from their instruction.

An Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) approach for the deployment of lean Six Sigma gives emphasis to working on improvement efforts that benefit the enterprise as a whole. In the 9-step IEE system, which is described in IEE Volume 2, an Enterprise Improvement Plan (EIP) provides direction for improvement efforts so important Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are enhanced and the big-picture benefits.

Evaluating Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt Course Options

Many appreciate the advantages of Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt certification (MBB certification). There are many sources for Master Black Belt training; however, not all training is created equal. In addition to certification, attendees need to consider their reason for taking the training and what long-lasting skill sets do they expect from the MBB certification training. This whitepaper discusses the following five reasons for Master Black Belt certification, which can help individuals and organizations determine what approach is best for them: (1) Achieve Master Black Belt certification quickly for resume building; e.g., job-security attempt or loss of job. (2) Learn how to use Six Sigma statistical tools better for project execution. (3) Learn how to use Lean tools better for reduction of waste through kaizen events. (4) Apply a roadmap for project execution of the integration of Lean and Six Sigma tools so that the right tool is used at the right time. (5) Apply Lean, Six Sigma, Theory of Constraints (TOC), and beyond the balanced scorecard tools for not only the execution of improvement projects but also application of the tools at the business level as well.

Enhanced Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Training Material

It is important that there needs to be new understanding of exactly what role Lean Six Sigma Black Belts (BBs) should play in today’s economy. Gone are the days when businesses deployed BBs as troubleshooters. Today, BBs, together with other Six Sigma practitioners, are indispensable partners in organizationwide initiatives that are grounded strategically and implemented on a highly structured basis to meet critical organizational goals. Included is the fostering of ongoing innovation, the use of business scorecards in ways that enhance rather than inhibit organizational improvement and the establishment of priorities that allow everyone in the organization to contribute to profit improvement. In this environment, everything that matters is measured, the only measurements made are those that matter, and every metric has an owner. The organization is practicing the Three Rs of business: Everyone is doing the right thing right at the right time.

Enhanced Approach for Lean Six Sigma in Healthcare Insurance Industry

While a great deal of process improvement work has finally begun to take hold within healthcare around patient safety and hospital operational efficiencies, what about the other non-clinical aspects of the overall healthcare system which can consume physician resources and adversely impact hospital finances? Healthcare insurance processes can have a major impact on both patient care as well as operational efficiencies. This paper describes how one healthcare insurance company has begun to use Six Sigma to not only make itself more efficient and effective internally, but is now also directing its energies toward lowering medical costs while improving patient service and outcomes
