The LEAN SIX SIGMA BLACK BELT program was conducted spread over two weekends

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.
