Lean Six Sigma Certification

This introductory lesson will provide you with an in-depth overview of Six Sigma and Organisational goals. You will be introduced to the DMAIC model - Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control, an important process methodology in maximising value delivery and solving various business problems.
- Course Introduction 

In this lesson, you will be introduced to Six Sigma and organisational goals. The purpose of this lesson is to introduce you to Six Sigma's core concepts and how they can benefit an organisation. By the end of this lesson, you will successfully identify the objectives of Six Sigma and how it relates to organisational goals, communicate key lean principles and be an expert in discussing the purpose of design for Six Sigma methodologies.

- Lesson 1.0 - Introduction to Six Sigma and Organizational Goals
- Lesson 1.1 - Six Sigma and Organizational Goals
- Lesson 1.2 - Lean Principles in the Organization
- Lesson 1.3 - Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) Methodologies
- Lesson 1.4 - Summary to Six Sigma and the Organisation

In the define phase, you will learn how to define the initial stage of the project, by describing the goal and mapping out the steps to get there. You will use various tools and techniques to support the project deliverable. By the end of this lesson, not only will you be skilled in defining project goals and using tools to manage projects, but you will also apply teamwork frameworks to synthesis various ideas and calculate business results for projects.

The measure phase of lean Six Sigma implementation involves collecting as much information and data as possible on the current project as much as possible.

The purpose is to understand the impact of the project and see if the project has improved once the process has been implemented. You will work with tools in the measure phase will help validate current performance and analyse basic conditions of the process. This is a hands-on lesson where you will gain experience in performing process analysis, describing statistical distributions, apply data collection and summarisation principles, and calculate process and performance capability.

The main objective of the analysis phase is to identify any major factors that impact the project process. You will work with tools to help validate current performance and analyse the characteristics of the process. You will perform exploratory data analysis to identify root causes of project or quality issues using regression analysis and use hypothesis testing for normal and non-normal data.

- Lesson 4.1 - Hypothesis Testing
- Lesson 4.2 - Exploratory Data Analysis
- Lesson 4.3 - Summary of Analyze Phase
- Lesson 4.4 - Project 1

In the improvement phase, you will develop solutions linked to critical problems that have been determined in the analyse phase. This stage is about determining where the problems are coming from in order to correct them. Gain practical real-world experience in analysing the design of experiments (DOE), performing root cause analysis, identifying lean techniques, and selecting the most effective solution to improve processes.

- Lesson 5.4 - Selecting a Solution
- Lesson 5.5 - Summary Improve Phase
- Lesson 5.6 - Project 1

The final phase is known as the control phase of the DMAIC journey. In this control phase, you will create a control plan to act as a roadmap for the process owner and provide information to ensure improvements your team has made are being sustained. You will ensure improvements are sustained through applying principles such as statistical process control, creating a control plan, and identifying lean tools for process control.

- Lesson 6.0 - Introduction to Control Phase

You will have the opportunity to participate in practice projects and apply your project management skills. Projects you will work on include: 

• Reducing Sealant Waste
• Improving Manufacturing Process
