I recently received my Black Belt after completing a 140-hour extensive Lean Six Sigma training program. Six Sigma is an integrated, disciplined proven approach for improving business performance. The training was through Six Sigma.us a leading consulting and certification firm supporting companies implementing the Six Sigma Process.
The Lean Six Sigma Training addressed understanding the physics of flow, waste components, statistical process control, theory of constraints and the principles of DMAIC. The online program offered workshop is highly interactive as you apply each principle through real-life type examples. The use of statistical software, Minitab and Sigma XL, was covered in the course.
I was looking for some practical training that would give me a solid foundation to not only Lean and Six Sigma but Minitab and SigmaXL. I felt that many of the other programs were more clinical or textbook style. SixSigma.us broke down the subject and especially the statistical side of the equation very well. As an added bonus, I came away with some very practical ideas on how I could improve my organization. I have been a do-it-yourselfer for many years. In the 90’s, I was heavily involved with the Theory of Constraints but for the past ten years I became immersed in Lean and Six Sigma. After wetting my feet last fall with Yellow Belt Training, I decided to validate my experience with a Black Belt.
