Course Lean Six Sigma-Orange Belt

Manage small improvement projects independently

Do you want to lead small improvement projects independently? Or contribute to process improvement within your own organization under the direction of a Green Belt or Black Belt? In the 2-day Lean Six Sigma Orange Belt Course of Learnit you'll learn to send simple projects using Lean Six Sigma. You will learn to apply Lean and Six Sigma in a practical way.

The Orange Belt training is the intermediate step between the Yellow belt and the Green Belt training. In two days you will learn all about the background and theory of Lean Six Sigma and how the Lean methodology in an improvement project is applied for the best result.

Content

The Lean Six Sigma Orange Belt course includes 2 days. On Day 1 You put a good foundation for Lean Six Sigma projects. You will learn how to design and implement an improvement project. The knowledge of DMAIC is refreshed, Lean tools like Kaizen, VSM (Value Stream Mapping) and 5S are covered. And you experience how and where these instruments are used within a Lean project.

Day 2 begins with a deepening of the DMAIC cycle. You will learn which place DMAIC (Define, measure, analysis, Improve, Control) has within a Lean improvement project. What is the purpose of each step, how to apply DMAIC and what instrument is used at what step. We will continue in time and rhythm within a Lean improvement project. In addition, Lean manufacturing is discussed, and the difference between push and pull production.

Topics

Day 1. Lean Six Sigma: a good base

• The philosophy and basics of Lean Six Sigma
• Develop Lean and Six Sigma methodologies
• How do Lean and Six Sigma strengthen each other?
• DMAIC Update
• Customer value and 8 forms of wastage
• Kaizen and 5S: less wastage, more flexibility and recognizable quality
• Value Stream Mapping (VSM)
• Day-& Week starts
• Process simulation

Day 2. Lean Six Sigma Tools and techniques

• Floor DMAIC: Define, measure, analysis, Improve, Control
• Balance processes: Flow and stroke time
• Lean manufacturing: From push-to-pull production
• Perfection and reflection

Target

The Lean Six Sigma Orange Belt Training is designed for anyone who wants to start improving work processes in Lean Six Sigma mode. Managers, employees but also Freelancers can participate in the training. This training is also very suitable for teams that are working with Lean Six Sigma.

Lesmethodiek

During the course Lean Six Sigma Orange Belt, theory and practice are constantly changing. In Practice-oriented assignments and process simulations you are going to work directly with the application of the theory. This way you learn to understand how the Lean principles work in practice.
