Lean and Six Sigma Solutions/Training    
 

Six Sigma and Lean are complimentary methodologies…both focus on delivering enterprise-wide process improvement using systematic approaches based on the scientific method. Adaptive understands that the tools needed to solve a problem depend on the problem being solved. When a complex problem requiring a more statistically driven solution arises, a Six Sigma-based approach may be the best option.

Adaptive offers Six Sigma training and certification for those seeking to add an additional skill set to their organizations.

Adaptive Six Sigma solutions:

   • Six Sigma Orientation – 3-day executive leadership orientation focused on the basics of Six Sigma methodology, as well as deployment
      recommendations.

   • Six Sigma Green Belt Certification – This 6-day course covers basic DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) Six Sigma principles and       tools, as well as Lean methodology.  Students who successfully complete this course will have the confidence and skills to execute Six Sigma projects       and apply Lean methodology with guidance from a Black Belt. The class consists of both lecture and practical application of the tools. In addition to the       5-day training curriculum, course includes training materials, and continental breakfast and full lunch.

   • Six Sigma Black Belt Certification – This 10-day course provides students with intermediate to advanced DMAIC Six Sigma principles and application       techniques, along with an in-depth knowledge of Lean principles. Additionally, students receive advanced guidance on overall continuous improvement       strategy development, change acceleration techniques, and influencing skills. At the conclusion, students should be able to successfully define and solve       large-scale, complex business problems with guidance from a Master Black Belt. The class consists of both lecture and practical application of the tools.       In addition to the 15-day training curriculum, course includes training materials, and continental breakfast and full lunch. Students must complete the 6-       day Six Sigma Green Belt class prior to Black Belt training unless prior arrangements are made with the Adaptive.

Note: Green Belt and Black Belt certifications require completion of a project; scope and savings requirements dependent upon level of certification.

Adaptive disclaimer: Regardless of “methodology”, maximum training benefit will not be realized without a defined strategy, an engaged leadership team, a culture centered around process improvement, and strong management and accountability system to help execute and sustain the changes.
