Has your company been taking advantage of Lean Six Sigma Techniques as a way to restructure your operations; improve your profitability; and stay competitive?
Now many companies are realizing the need for implementing Lean Six Sigma Techniques on a continuous basis in their company. This now requires they hire and train internal staff in Lean Six Sigma techniques and how they apply to their business.
Bonocore Technology Partners, a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise, is very experienced in helping our clients implement in-house Lean Six Sigma Performance Improvement Programs. Our staff has led many efforts in this area which have yielded significant bottom line results.
Our first step in helping our clients implement their own effective internal Lean Six Sigma Program is to train a select number of company employees to receive Green Belts in Lean Six Sigma (LSS). When certified, they can act as project managers on LSS projects.
To receive a Green Belt, a candidate must:
1. Attend approved LSS training conducted by Black belts, Master
Black belts and/or other qualified instructors. This will be the content
we can cover in the first 6 days of our tailored LCC training conducted by our Black Belts.
1. Attend approved LSS training conducted by Black belts, Master
Black belts and/or other qualified instructors. This will be the content
we can cover in the first 6 days of our tailored LCC training conducted by our Black Belts.
2. Pass an examination that covers this material, administered by a
Black Belt or Master Black Belt. We would administer this examination on the morning of day 7.
3. Design a project approved by a Black Belt, Master Black Belt, or
other qualified personnel, and completed at work in a satisfactory fashion
and in accordance with the Six Sigma principles covered in the course. We will complete the initial design projects on the afternoon of day 7.
The final step in Green Belt Certification is:
4. Successful completion of the projects approved by and under the
oversight of a Black Belt or Master Black Belt, and/or other qualified
personnel in conformance with the processes taught in the 4 day course.
A successful project will produce results that will be rigorously measured by the team itself as well as the Black Belt or Master Black Belt monitor.
Typical metrics include measurable cost savings, operational improvements, quality enhancements, safety improvements or other related metrics as approved by the monitoring Black Belt or Master Black Belt as targeted in the project design completed on day 7.
If the client wishes to have the process completely in-house, we can also train client staff to be certified as Black Belts so that you would not have to rely on our team for the training and the oversight.
The need for an in-house LSS team will become more and more critical as the pace of change continues to quicken and the cost of not changing fast enough becomes higher and higher.
