    The Skills You Will Build

    In a Single Day of Training

    This one-day programme gives you a rounded, practical grounding in Six Sigma. By the end you can explain the method, follow the DMAIC roadmap, recognise the roles and tools, and take part in process improvement work with confidence.

    Understand the Six Sigma Approach

    Learn what Six Sigma is and why organisations use it: the philosophy, the history from Motorola to GE, the cost of poor quality, and the goal of fewer than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. You leave able to explain the business case for improvement.

    Speak the Language of Quality

    Get comfortable with the core vocabulary used on projects: defects, variation, DPMO and sigma level, Critical to Quality (CTQ), Voice of the Customer, and the Y = f(X) relationship between process inputs and outputs.

    Follow the DMAIC Roadmap

    Walk through all five phases of DMAIC, Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control, and understand what happens in each, from the project charter and baseline through root cause analysis to sustaining the gains.

    Recognise the Six Sigma Roles

    Understand who does what on a Six Sigma programme, from Champions and Master Black Belts to Black Belts, Green Belts, Yellow Belts and process owners, so you know how you fit in and can support each role effectively.

    Read Core Improvement Tools

    Gain awareness of the key tools teams use, including SIPOC, fishbone and Pareto analysis, control charts, process capability and measurement checks, so you can follow what is happening during a project.

    Connect Lean and Six Sigma

    See how Lean waste reduction combines with Six Sigma variation reduction in Lean Six Sigma, and how tools such as value stream mapping and 5S work alongside DMAIC to make processes both faster and more consistent.
