eXample Consulting Group's LEAN SIX SIGMA BLACK BELT session at CHENNAI

eXample Consulting Group (India's #1 Lean Six Sigma Consulting, Training and
Certification firm) has successfully concluded the LEAN SIX SIGMA BLACK BELT
TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION public program held at CHENNAI, India on 13, 14,
26, 27 and 28th JUNE 2009. With this program eXample Consulting Group
achieved the GOLDEN JUBILEE milestone in Lean Six Sigma public programs (50
PROGRAMS - ACROSS INDIA - 100% ON SCHEDULE - JUST 2 YEARS!!)

The program was held at Hotel Southern Crest, T.Nagar and was attended by
participants from leading companies like Mahindra Satyam (previously Satyam
Computers), Allsec Technologies and Flextronics with participants travelling
even Bangalore to attend this program.

The LEAN SIX SIGMA BLACK BELT program was conducted spread over two weekends
to make it convenient to attend without work disruption or absence. The
sessions covered advanced concepts, techniques, practical exercises and
implementation elements of Lean and Six Sigma based on the Integrated DMAIC
framework.

It helped each participant to closely relate Lean Six Sigma to their work
roles in their respective organizations, understand customer needs using
QFD, identify and shortlist key projects, develop the business case and
project charter, identify and manage stakeholders, project plan and identify
risks, map the value stream and assess current value stream performance
levels, conduct R&R studies, establish current baseline with data, obtain
process and performance capability and measure critical assets productivity
as well.

It also helped participants to analyze the value stream for key bottlenecks
and wastes, perform in-depth causal analysis, build linear and non-linear
cause-effect regression models, apply tests of hypothesis, design, plan and
conduct a live in-class design of experiment, analyze the data and build the
cause-effect model and test for significance of main/interaction effects,
perform Monte-carlo simulation and analyze the outputs, develop solutions,
assess risk with FMEA, create change management plan and set up appropriate
controls with Control charts, Poka-Yoke, standardization, TPM/SMED, Visual /
5S controls for gainful and sustainable results. The program covered
extensive details with a practical focus and insights in each of these
topical areas to build deep understanding and advanced Black Belt level
competencies in the participants.

A full cycle case study was utilized to impart deep and rich learning, use
of mock questions to build full preparedness, games, exercises, memory
joggers and use of humorous quotes and anecdotes to ensure enjoyable
learning along with extensive interactions, discussions and Q&A sessions.

All participants were awarded LEAN SIX SIGMA BLACK BELT participation
certificate by eXample Consulting Group. The LEAN SIX SIGMA BLACK BELT
Assessment Test was conducted on the last day of the program based on the
results of which the participants are awarded the "Lean Sigma BLACK BELT
Course Completion" certificate.

The summary of participant feedback about the program is presented below.

The program by eXample Consulting was an eye-opener on Black
Belt level and how useful it can be in real-time environment. I found this
program good in comparison to other programs I attended elsewhere and more
information was shared here. This course has changed / shaped my thinking as
I have learnt several new concepts that can be implemented to improve
business performance!! I shall definitely recommend colleagues and it is
100% applicable in my work environment. I believe this program will help in
my career growth!!

I found this a good program!! Yes it has shaped my knowledge
in the areas of DOE and Regression analysis!! The program largely met my
expectations and I shall definite recommend to colleagues!!

I found the program quite good and also in comparison to
other programs attended!! It helped align my thinking to lean concepts and
continuous improvement and usage of XL as an effective tool to apply Six
Sigma. I would definitely recommend this to colleagues and I think this
program will definitely help in my career growth!! I got much value for the
fee paid and time invested in the program!!

The participants have been inducted to the "Global Lean Six Sigma Excellence
Forum" (http://leansigma.collectivex.com) and the "eXclusive" online
community sponsored by eXample Consulting Group that provides access to
