SIX SIGMA

Yellow Belt Certification Overview

Six Sigma Yellow Belt certification provides an overall insight into the techniques of Six Sigma, its metrics, and basic improvement methodologies. we will learn how to integrate Six Sigma methodologies for the improvement of production and transactional systems, in order to better meet customer expectations and bottom-line objectives of their organization. we can explore to introduction to process management and the basic tools of Six Sigma, It gives stronger understanding of processes, enabling each individual to provide meaningful assistance in achieving an organization’s overall objectives.

Green Belt Certification Overview

A Six Sigma Green Belt serves as a specially trained team member within his or her function-specific area of an organization. This focus allows a Green Belt to work on small, carefully defined Six Sigma projects, requiring less time than a Black Belt’s full-time commitment to Six Sigma throughout an organization. Six Sigma Online’s Green Belt Training provides participants with enhanced problem-solving skills, including an emphasis on the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) model.

The Green Belt has two primary tasks: first, to help successfully deploy Six Sigma techniques, and second, to lead small-scale improvement projects within their respective areas.

Lean/DFSS (Green Belt Level) Certification Overview

Lean & Six Sigma

The Lean approach systematically reduces waste in the value stream. It not only aims to limit effective products, but all types of defective work. It identifies defects, overproduction, excess inventories, unnecessary processing, unnecessary movement of people, unnecessary transport of goods, waiting, and designing goods and services that don't meet customer's needs.

Design for Six Sigma (DFSS)

Companies that implement a Six Sigma program find that a majority of defects are actually created during the design process. As companies' processes begin to exceed Five Sigma, they typically hit a "wall" that requires a redesign of some or all of the processes. This process of redesign is called Design For Six Sigma (DFSS). DFSS is a rigorous approach to designing products and services as well as enabling processes from the very beginning to ensure that they produce Six Sigma-quality products and services, meeting customer expectations

Lean Black Belt Certification / Black Belt Certification Overview

It thorough knowledge of Six Sigma philosophies and principles (including supporting systems and tools). A certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt exhibits team leadership, understands team dynamics, and assigns their team members with roles and responsibilities. They have a complete understanding of the DMAIC model in accordance with the Six Sigma principles, have a basic knowledge of lean enterprise concepts, and they can quickly identify “non-value-added” activities.

Operations management is an area of management concerned with overseeing, designing, and controlling the process of production and redesigning business operations in the production of goods or services

History

The history of production and operation systems began around 5000 B.C. when Sumerian priests developed the ancient system of recording inventories, loans, taxes, and business transactions. The next major historical application of operation systems occurred in 4000 B.C. It was during this time that the Egyptians started using planning, organization, and control in large projects such as the construction of the pyramids. By 1100 B.C., labour was being specialized in China; by about 370 B.C., Xenophon described the advantages of dividing the various operations necessary for the production of shoes among different individuals in ancient Greece.

Recent trends in the field revolve around concepts such as:

• Business Process Re-engineering (launched by Michael Hammer in 1993): a business management strategy focusing on the analysis and design of workflows and business processes within an organization. BPR seeks to help companies radically restructure their organizations by focusing on the ground-up design of their business processes.
  

• Lean Manufacturing: a systemic method for the elimination of waste within a manufacturing process. Lean also takes into account waste created through overburden and waste created through unevenness in work loads.The term lean manufacturing was coined in the book The Machine that Changed the World.

• Six Sigma (an approach to quality developed at Motorola between 1985-1987): Six Sigma refers to control limits placed at six (6) standard deviations from the mean of a normal distribution, this became very famous after Jack Welch of General Electric launched a company-wide initiative in 1995 to adopt this set of methods. More recently, Six Sigma has included DMAIC (an abbreviation for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) for improving processes and DFSS-Design for Six Sigma  (for designing new products and new processes)

• Reconfigurable Manufacturing Systems: a production system designed at the outset for rapid change in its structure, as well as its hardware and software components, in order to quickly adjust its production capacity and functionality within a part family in response to sudden market changes or intrinsic system change.
