organizational BENEFITS

Integrating Lean and management

As Lean practices thrive in a decentralized management style, a manager who uses Lean principles becomes a powerful asset. Lean Managers empower their teams to accomplish greater results and contribute significantly to company goals. Likewise, without a cyclic Lean-aware leader, results will become less consistent. A fundamental Lean principle states that without a cycle of continual improvement and vigilance (known as PDCA), processes return to chaotic and ad-hoc states, undoing improvements. By appointing a Lean Leader to guide a group of Lean practitioners, their efforts, initiatives, and results can enhance effectiveness and make a greater impact.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is it possible to enroll and participate in training without any prior knowledge or experience of Lean Six Sigma?

Each of our training programs is designed with the assumption that our students begin without any prior knowledge of the Lean Six Sigma methodology. The training begins with the basics and systematically covers every concept, catering to those without prior experience. You’ll engage in simulations and exercises throughout the training to facilitate your understanding. If you undertake a project as part of your training, you will receive coaching and support from one of The Lean Six Sigma Company’s (Master) Black Belts to help you get started.

Which training should I opt for: Green Belt or Black Belt?

The choice between Green Belt and Black Belt training depends on your objectives and aspirations. If you want to integrate Lean Six Sigma part-time alongside other responsibilities, then Green Belt training is suitable. But, if your ambition involves full-time engagement with Lean Six Sigma and Continuous Improvement, then the Black Belt training is ideal.

Does Lean Six Sigma or Lean training align with my career path?

Lean and Lean Six Sigma methodologies are applicable regardless of your career stage, and this training serves as an excellent entry place. Even as a novice, your efforts can bring substantial value. These methodologies can complement your current tasks or even replace certain responsibilities. Alternatively, depending on the training you opt for, they can pave the way for a full-time career.

Black Belt or Green Belt: Which is the better choice for me?

Green Belt projects address challenges that impact a single department or specific stakeholders. On the other hand, Black Belt projects tackle intricate, persistent issues that span across departments and involve various stakeholders. In terms of roles, Green Belts often align with project managers, while Black Belts bear greater responsibilities and play a more influential role, directing other Green Belts throughout projects.

What distinguishes the ‘Services’ training from the ‘Manufacturing’ training?

The ‘Services’ training is ideal for individuals in transactional roles, such as general administration, logistics, and finance. On the other hand, the ‘Manufacturing’ training suits those who work in mass production, machinery, factories, and automation. Those who undergo Manufacturing training can still undertake projects in the transactional fields mentioned earlier.

Is Lean Six Sigma training suitable for me if I find statistics difficult?

The Green Belt training minimizes statistics content, unlike our Black Belt course. However, our Black Belt courses start from the fundamentals, assuming our students have no familiarity with statistics. We understand that dealing with statistics may seem daunting, but our trainers have successfully guided numerous students in comprehending and developing an interest in statistics. Moreover, we provide numerous videos and supplementary courses on our MyTraining™ platform to help you prepare and repeat certain exercises and modules.

Do you provide training options during evenings or weekends?

The Lean Six Sigma Company prefers to schedule its training courses during regular working hours.

This decision is deliberate, aiming to respect our students’ personal time and cultivate a practice of engaging with Lean Six Sigma within typical work hours, a habit we encourage beyond training completion.

However, there may be specific local variations. If you have any questions, please contact the helpdesk in your respective region.

Is training available in languages other than English?

Details about our global presence are available on our theleansixsigmacompany.com world map page. This resource indicates the countries where we are currently operational and provide training.

Which training option is appropriate for me?

The right choice depends on your objectives and desired outcomes. Choose Green Belt training if you plan to integrate Lean Six Sigma part-time, perhaps alongside your current responsibilities. On the other hand, if your goal involves a full-time engagement with Continuous Improvement and Lean Six Sigma, then Black Belt training is the suitable option. Similar considerations apply to Lean training, Lean Practitioner, and Lean Leader courses.

Which training should I choose: Lean Practitioner or Lean Leader?

Lean Practitioners and Lean Leaders fulfill distinct roles. Practitioners are responsible for implementing smaller-scale Lean Initiatives consistently and providing stakeholders with updates on their progress. Conversely, Lean Leaders have a broader understanding of Lean, oversee projects, and facilitate employee training, enabling them to use the Lean methodology independently.
