This Training Offering Benefits

This course shows how to overcome the shortcomings of a traditional Lean Six Sigma deployment, which can become a “hunt for project to execute” or a “training exercise.” With a traditional Lean Six Sigma deployment, executives can often have difficulty in seeing the benefits from lean Six Sigma deployment efforts; e.g., 100 million dollars was reported in savings but nobody can seem to find the money. A leadership-lack-of-benefit perspective can result in an organizational Lean Six Sigma deployment downsizing or elimination.

 

Smarter Solutions’ two-week Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt (LSS MBB) course shows how to build upon the strengths of Lean Six Sigma methodologies, while at the same time overcoming the shortcomings of a traditional deployment.

 

The intensive robust curriculum in this training is based upon wise application of next generation Six Sigma and Lean concepts via the Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) System . Concepts taught during this training meet and exceed the ASQ MBB Body of Knowledge topics. A Lean Six Sigma Green or Black Belt certification is not a requirement for attending this workshop, if one has adequate statistical and non-statistical application experience.
