    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
