What is Lean Six Sigma?
Lean Six Sigma is a methodology that relies on a collaborative team effort to improve performance by systematically reducing variability and removing waste; combining lean manufacturing, lean enterprise, and six sigma principles and tools, this continuous improvement initiative provides the means to increase customer satisfaction through the reduction and in many cases the elimination of the eight kinds of waste “Muda”: defects, overproduction, waiting, non-utilized talent, transportation, inventory, motion, and extra-processing.
Lean Six Sigma utilizes both the PDCA methodology (Plan, Do Check, Act) and the DMAIC methodology (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) phases to improve every area of any type of organization. There are also many tools, principles, and techniques that can be applied along with each of the phases of the methodologies.
Depending on the knowledge, function, and type of tools that an individual is capable to use and facilitate, Lean Six Sigma recognizes different roles identified as belts as in Karate. The belts are designated as White Belt, Yellow Belt, Orange Belt, Green Belt, Black Belt, and Master Black Belt. Each of the different belts is expected to acquire certain knowledge and understanding of the LSS tools and techniques, according to the function and the level of complexity of the problems that need to be resolved.
Is there a Lean Six Sigma Certification Process at BBetter?
As Lean Six Sigma became popular across multiple organizations from different types of industries, many of them developed internal processes to certify people depending on the function and belt that an individual plays within the organization.
