Lean courses

In a world of production where we are increasingly experiencing digitization or virtual reality, the question whether the Lean principles, implemented more than 70 years ago at Toyota, are still actual comes out naturally. If we take into account, on one hand, the objectives of methodology - to reduce / eliminate wastes and to deliver to customers only what they need, when they need it, spending as little money on this as possible - and the needs of companies to be more efficient and competitive, on the other hand, then LEAN is certainly an invaluable tool, which can be successfully applied to any type of process - not only to those in the production area.
Both our workshops with the most used Lean Six Sigma instruments (VSM - Value Stream Mapping, 5S, A3 / PDCA, Kaizen, Kanban, FMEA) and the Lean courses -Basic Level and Advanced Level will help you get simpler, faster, standardized processes and more satisfied customers. Our promise is that by the end of these sessions you will have learnt to:

Identify opportunities for improvement.
Describe processes using process diagrams.
Identify wastes, process constraints, and root causes.
Identify the best solutions and implement them within your organization.
Apply Lean principles in everyday activity.

Lean Six Sigma courses

Today, technology allows us to evaluate in real time the efficiency and the rate of defects in the processes. Even with your mobile phone. Having thus a clear picture of the situation in the process, we can identify the root causes and implement the best solutions to resolve the errors as quickly as possible. Our Yellow/Green/Black Belt Lean Six Sigma courses (from basic to advanced level), with the possibility of international certification, will help you solve the process issues related to defects and variation, as well as customer satisfaction. Our promise is that by the end of these sessions you will have learnt to: Understand the importance of process improvement within the organization. Use the right tools to solve problems / increase performance. Run projects to improve processes using Lean and Six Sigma methodologies (the DMAIC cycle). Apply the principles and tools of Lean Six Sigma to everyday activity.

Lean Six Sigma International Certifications

We have partnered with IASSC (International Association for Six Sigma Certification) and we can help you obtain Lean Six Sigma international Certification for Yellow, Green and Black Belt levels. The steps of the certification process are as follows:
- Participation in the course - 100% attendance
- Take the Lean Six Sigma Yellow/ Green/ Black Belt examination and obtain a minimum score of 70% - 50/100/150 to multiple-choice questions.
A recertification based on exam needs to be obtained every 3 years.
Further details on IASSC certification can be found at https://www.iassc.org/six-sigma-certification/

Data analysis/ Minitab software

We cannot obtain more efficient processes or better product/service quality without thorough data analysis. As part of the training and coaching activities, we promote intelligent ways of analyzing process data using Excel or the Minitab statistical software thus becoming effective in implementing improvement projects. We also offer 2-3 day data analysis courses, depending on customer needs. We use Minitab 18, with its free of charge 30 day trial version which can be downloaded at https://www.minitab.com/en-us/products/minitab/free-trial. Our promise is that by the end of these sessions you will have learnt to: Identify data types Use graphical and statistical tools for data analysis Interpret the results Evaluate the process stability, capability and control.

Coaching for Improvement Projects

For many organizations coaching sessions for improvement projects have become an integral part of the implementation of Lean, Six Sigma, Kaizen, etc. programmes and a critical factor for their success. During the coaching sessions, we support improvement project leaders, Yellow / Green / Black Belts and Lean Experts in translating the knowledge acquired during the courses into practice. Coaching sessions consist of regular project team meetings with our consultants, with a duration of approximately 1-1,5 hours per project, with a frequency determined together with the participants (depending on the nature of the project, the knowledge and skills of the participants, the existence of an internal expert, etc.) Our promise is that by the end of the session you will have obtained the following: Verification of the project status and compliance with the initial plan Identification and application of the right tools to the given situation. Deeper understanding of knowledge acquired. Establishment of the steps necessary for the coming stages.
