    Higher Salaries after Certification

Whenever services or products are provided by an organisation, many waste processes creep up during the production phase. Typically there are seven kinds of such wastes - Defects, Overproduction, Waiting, Non-used employee talent, Transportation, Inventory, Motion, and Excessive Processing (remembered as DOWNTIME). The concepts of Lean Six Sigma help the organisation to do away with the waste processes.Japanese have termed this waste elimination processes as ‘muda’ which helps the organisation achieve the following aims:

  • Sort
  • Straighten
  • Shine
  • Standardise
  • Sustain

At Pentagon Training, the delegates get to know about the methodologies used by the Lean Six Sigma professionals from certified instructors.

What's included

  Course Overview

Waste comes from unnecessary steps in the process of production within the organisation. On the other hand, waste also results from variation within the process in case of Six Sigma.  

Waste elimination can be achieved by following the principles laid down in the various Lean Six Sigma Belt courses. The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Upgrade course is available to those professionals who have already certified as Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. The Black Belt Upgrade course allows the professionals to cover the contents of just the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt course. Unlike the Black Belt course under which Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt and Green Belt are covered, this upgrade course covers neither of them.

EXAM:

The exam will be conducted at the end of the trainingThe exam consists of 100 Multiple Choice, scenario based Questions (MCQ’s).The delegate would need to choose one correct answer  from the given four and proceed further.

One will need to have 70 percentage marks i.e. 70 questions must be correct from 100 to clear the exam. Our trainers will make sure that the delegates have gone through all the concepts of the subject so that they can easily clear the exam in the first attempt.

The language used in the exam would be English. In case, the delegate is not comfortable with the exam in English; we can try to provide the exam in another language by consulting our trainer or management. Selection of language depends upon the comfort of the trainer. Therefore, we can’t guarantee this will happen.

All other details regarding exams will be provided during the training by our experts.

Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Upgrade

What is Lean?

Lean is the mathematical approach for streamlining both service processes and manufacturing by removing waste while continuing to deliver value to customers or clients. Lean is not just a set of tools; it stems from cultural roots which manifest in the business. A Lean Culture also called Lean Management is the foundation of improvement of Lean Process. During Lean Culture, improvement is exponentially more likely to be sustained so that a continuous improvement environment can be created in the organisation. It is the combination of defining customer value, aligning around a central purpose, striving for perfection while respecting and developing employees at the same time.

A Lean Process has following characteristics:

  • A lean process is usually faster than other processes
  • It is more efficient and economical than others
  • It also delivers satisfactory quality services to customers

A Lean system can be achieved by removing waste from the processes that are no more needed to have a successful outcome for the project. After completely removing the waste, we only include those steps which are required for customer satisfaction.

What is the Lean Six Sigma process?

Lean Six Sigma process includes following steps:

  • Define
  • Measure
  • Analyse
  • Improve
  • Control

About Darlington

Darlington in England lies on River Skerne – a tributary of River Tees. The development of the town has mainly been due to the influence of Quaker families in the Georgian and Victorian era who helped with both finance and vision. They also helped to develop the Stockton and Darlington Railway which was the world's first permanent passenger railway. It was also the world’s first steam locomotive powered rail.

The settlement started off as an Anglo-Saxon settlement and even the name “Darlington” derives from the Anglo-Saxon “Dearthington” meaning “the settlement of Deornoth's people”. In 1183, it was an important market place but by the 19th century, it was reduced to a small market town.

The number of seats, in 1939, per head of population in the United Kingdom was the maximum. The city centre went a full refurbishment entitled The Pedestrian Heart, which has seen the majority of the town centre pedestrianised. Initially, people criticised the changes to public transport and removal of Victorian features along High Row. In 2014, the town saw The Majestic, one of the old cinemas, being revamped into a playhouse and theatre.

The King's Hotel, in August 2008, was engulfed by fire, as a result, damaging the roof and 100 bedrooms. Several nearby shops were damaged and remained closed for weeks after the fire. There were no casualties but the hotel could not be re-opened before 2012.

Government

The Borough of Darlington became a unitary authority area in 1997 when the Darlington Borough Council was formed.It separated from the non-metropolitan county of Durham for administrative purposes only, with the town is still coming under the  County Durham for ceremonial purposes. Currently, Darlington is a Labour seat, Jenny Chapman, holding this seat. Alan Milburn, the former Secretary of State for Health under the Tony Blair Labour Government and Michael Fallon, the current Secretary of State for Defence under the David Cameron Coalition Government have been former MP’s for Darlington.

Transport

Airport

The Durham Tees Valley Airport which lies around is 5 miles east of Darlington town centre is the airport serving Darlington. The airport was initially known as Teesside Airport until 2004 as it also serves Teesside along with Darlington. The airport has domestic as well as international flights with the international flights available for many locations across Europe.The airport also has a Fire Training Centre that trains many airport firefighters from all over the UK. The nearest airports are Newcastle Airport (42.3 miles (68.1 km)) and Leeds Bradford International Airport (62 miles (100 km)).
