for more than 35 years. Our extensive
library can be used to deliver on-site classroom training to give
your employees the skills necessary to successfully apply Lean
Six sigma techniques to improve your processes.
Our training materials and programs can be customized to incorporate
your business objectives, examples, and data to fit your training
needs.
Lean Six Sigma efforts will succeed only if your organization's
leaders believe it is in the company's and their best interests
to make sure it succeeds. Champions are leaders selected to
translate the strategic direction and high-level Lean Six Sigma
deployment plan into action.
Champions:
- Align resources
- Select specific projects
- Lead the Lean Six Sigma implementation
- Review progress and adjust the deployment plan as necessary
This 3.5 day workshop helps champions successfully deploy
Lean Six Sigma and select projects linked to the strategic plan.
More specifically the workshop enables the champion team to
lead the Lean Six Sigma initiative, implement a high-level deployment
plan, and define the champion leadership roles in supporting
and executing that plan. This workshop is best conducted in
two separate sessions: a 2-day session and a 1.5 day session.
In between the two sessions, there's a break where champions
gather documentation and collect data.
There are two primary outcomes:
- A list of defined projects, with charters, ready to be
initiated
- Champions ready to fulfill their role in leading the overall
initiative
Lean Six Sigma Green Belts are typically leaders of smaller,
less complex improvement projects (based on the DMAIC methodology),
or team members on projects led by Black Belts.
STAT-A-MATRIX's unique approach to the integration of Lean
and Six Sigma takes full advantage of the power of both philosophies
and makes it easier for Green Belts to know what tool to use
when. Based on our experience working with a variety of clients
over many years, we recognize that there are two types of DMAIC
projects: Typical Six Sigma DMAIC projects
and Lean DMAIC projects.
Typical Six Sigma DMAIC projects are characterized
by the following:
- The detailed solution is unknown
- You have tried to solve this problem before using a different
method
- More advanced statistics are required
- Typically conducted in a project fashion
- Example: Reduce defects when the cause is unknown
LEAN DMAIC projects (often call kaizen events)
are characterized by the following:
- The detailed solution is unknown
- The problem can be solved by applying a known Lean approach
(such as 5Ss or Just-In-Time)
- Less rigor in data collection and analysis is required
- The facilitator usually conducts the project in a blitz
fashion
- Example: Reduce lead times and balance the workload
The purpose of the 3-week Lean Six Sigma DMAIC Green Belt training
is to help team leaders and team members successfully complete
DMAIC and LEAN DMAIC projects. The first week of training covers
the details of Lean and the Lean approaches The second and third
weeks cover the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control
steps as well as leadership, facilitation, and change management
skills.
Our 3-week Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training (for service)
is pulled directly from the first three weeks of our 5-week
Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training (for service). This design
allows you to develop Green Belts and Black Belts side-by-side
which can improve team leader and team member effectiveness
and help to reduce training costs in your organization. Manufacturing
and financial service versions coming soon.
Additional coaching and mentoring of Green Belts as they participate
in LEAN DMAIC events or DMAIC projects is also recommended.
Specialty training and coaching is available for Green Belts
who will participate in design (DMADV) projects or in process
managements efforts.

Black Belts are the driving force translating the Lean Six
Sigma theory and methods into results.
Lean Six Sigma Black Belts can be trained in one or more of
the three key methodologies (improvement, design, and process
management). The majority of Black Belts focus on improvement,
while specialty Black Belts are trained in process management
and/or design.
Improvement focused Black Belts use the DMAIC methodology:

The first week of training covers the details of Lean and the
Lean approaches The second and third weeks cover the Define,
Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control steps as well as leadership,
facilitation, and change management skills.
During weeks four and five, Minitab or JMP software is taught
and used to support the more advanced statistical tools. Advanced
statistical tools used include normal theory, hypothesis testing,
advanced control charts, regression analysis, sampling and design
of experiments.
Additional coaching and mentoring of Black Belts as they run
LEAN DMAIC events or DMAIC projects is also recommended. Design
and process management specialty training also available.

Transform your organization by becoming a Six Sigma Master
Black Belt and indispensable asset to your company. Our intensive
program focuses on increasing the ability of experienced Six
Sigma Black Belts and other process improvement professionals
to take leadership roles in achieving organizational excellence
by combining advanced technical skills with strategic decision-making
capabilities.
STAT-A-MATRIX Master Black Belts can plan strategy with senior
executives, support or act as deployment champions, and lead
and coach Black Belts through complex improvement and design
projects.
Tailored to trained Six Sigma Black Belts and other senior
quality professionals, this comprehensive workshop-based session
provides a strategic view of the three Lean Six Sigma methodologies
(process improvement, design and innovation and process management)
in addition to building skills in advanced statistics, change
management, financial management, project management, and decision
making.
Process Analytical Technologies (PAT) is the wave of the future
for the pharmaceutical industry. As defined by the FDA, PAT
is a “system for designing, analyzing, and controlling
manufacturing through timely measurements (i.e., during processing)
of critical quality and performance attributes of raw and in-process
materials and processes with the goal of ensuring final product
quality.”
As a scientific, risk-based framework, PAT is, essentially,
about improving processes for effectiveness and efficiency,
which leads to the application of lean Six Sigma. Learn how
Lean and Six Sigma tools can play an important role in the application
of PAT.
