Black Belt training? Why is it different to previous improvement initiatives?
With in-company training one actually aligns process improvement to customer requirements and business objectives. It can be applied to service and business processes, not only for production processes.
With a Black Belt program in-house one establishes a standard language and problem solving methodology across different business functions.
The improvement goals are all bottom line focused and will provide the company a significant return on investment, i.e. improvement of On Time Delivery, structural financial benefits through efficiency and cost savings, increased customer confidence.
Black Belt project manager must ensure team work, this includes the coaching and training of Green and Yellow Belts. A proper change management project should not take longer than 6 – 8 months. Black Belts are trained to make use of DMAIC.
An organisation can relatively easy grow improvement competences and culture on a massive scale through in-house training, the purpose of the qualification and coaching of Black Belts is to engage all of the people in this drive for continual process improvement.
Deploying one unified methodology, language and tool kit will support companies to promote integration and common ways of working with respect to performance improvement and to progressively reduce its dependence on external consultants.
