through the Black Belt with success!!

By on December 20, 2012 in General, Lean Six Sigma, Uncategorized

After another 10 Hot Meals (and they where tough to get through), deeper studies in the Lean & Six Sigma Methodology, a few new tools and lot of practical exercise of the knowlage in a case study (with late night work). I’m proud to let you know that both Ole and I manage to take us through the Black Belt with success!!

A lot of thanks to Karen and Jörn (Jürg, Steve, Björn….and all the other names we put on you!  😉 )  for the time you invested in us to take us through the material.

I’m pleased to have had the oppertunity to meet you all and to get to know you. Would be delighted to hear from you in your future adventures, and perhaps we meet again!

PS. Ole, a short version with less English words. 10 Hot Meals more! Hard work! Passed the Exam!  Se you some day!  😉

Black Belt Bootcamp in Helsingborg

By on December 20, 2012 in General, Lean Six Sigma, Uncategorized

I contribute here Daniel and for my own part, I can not describe how happy I am to achieve my BB certificate. The whole course has been a real learning experience for me and I can highly recommend both Jac and Ulf giving yourself the opportunity to get BB. It’s like Daniel describes it that it was really good to try theories of through a case study that BB was about, but also extra good tools to come up with a good solution to the case.

By now I’ve come home I will closer look at all theories again and have them translated into human language (I mean Danish – sorry for saying this) but then I get all the details and do not miss anything at all.

Finally, I would say that I had not done this course without all your extreme friendly way of being and your great patience with me. You have been my friends for life. Special thanks to Karen for the good teaching in GB who founded that I could go to BB.

For Daniel and Jörn (Steve – Chris & …) is thanks a poor words “You did a great effort for me at BB”. I’m so happy.

And just one more time about hot meals J After having gone through both course and have learned more analysis on BB, I figured out that with included the warm eggs in the morning also it has been for 30 hot meals over 10 days converted to weight is approx. 5 kg. So now I have to jogging on country road. And was it the VOC ??? J

To you all I would say that you at any time feel free to visit me where I live.

I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and I hope we meet again in one time or another in our lives.

Best regards
Ole Christensen

my learning in Lean Six Sigma has only just begun.

Hi Jörn, I hope you are well.

I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you for the training course. I really enjoyed my week and although it was quite hard going in places I genuinely felt that your teaching style and support were the main reasons I learnt so much. I was slightly apprehensive about the accelerated learning because there is so much to cover. I know that these courses are partly designed to ensure rapid certification but I know that my learning in Lean Six Sigma has only just begun.

I am genuinely interested in learning more and in putting my knowledge to the test in real practical environments. I have already had a conversation with my CEO about running green belt projects and being an IBMer, and having experience himself in Black Belt projects, he is keen to support me in this journey. He has already given me the mandate to start working in some areas.

Next year I hope to run some projects and to develop my knowledge further and will hopefully be back studying for Black Belt as well. Ill keep you in the loop with regards to progress.

Anyway, I wanted to say a huge thanks to you. You made a hard week very enjoyable and you should take great credit for that.

Rob.

a lot easier to move "stones"

it was a great pleasure to attend your course.

 

Thanks for your offer for help. If I get the opportunity I will contact you.

Help and friends are always welcome. It makes it a lot easier to move “stones”.

Hopefully see you again.

All the tools you give me will be a real help in my business.

Dear René,

 

First of all, I’d like to thank you for the session. It was very interesting and since the first day, I go on with my vision helped by the LSS tools for the project I’d like to achieve. I remarked that the scope was too big and that I have now to define a smaller scope to be more efficient (thank you for this advice).

 

All the tools you give me will be a real help in my business. I have to admit that you are fully right with the idea of TEAM WORK, Communication and change management (but I was already aware of those last two)

 

I  have to say that the atmosphere of work was very good.

 

Thank you.

 

Regards,

pierrot

Our Master Black Belts

Master Black Belts are more than just skilled technologists. The cornerstone for success of a quality accelerated technology training provider is the instructor’s ability to translate complex technical theories into understandable concepts and applied knowledge.

In addition to delivering our courses, our instructors are also consultants for major organisations worldwide. Every day, they acquire more extensive real-world experience which is reflected in the courses they teach and the books they write.

PEEC Training instructors are cross-certified industry professionals – ranging from renowned authors to senior information technology consultants, with extensive real-world knowledge.  Every PEEC Training Instructor:

  • Is certified in their chosen subject (in the case of Minitab training we only employ Minitab Certified Trainers)
  • Has many years of experience in a senior consulting role
  • Provides accelerated instruction and guidance, covering fundamentals and hands-on concepts, and demonstrating real-world scenarios to solidify your understanding

The PEEC Master Black Belts deliver the curriculum, provide leadership, coach students to ensure successful information comprehension and retention as well as certification. Instructors provide group instruction and individual assistance with a keen ability to cater to every aptitude and background.

Lean Six Sigma Design of Experiments Y = f(x)

Design of Experiments
§DOE was originally developed in 1930’s by Sir Ronald Fisher to improve agricultural methods
§Fisher used DOE to maximise the yield of agricultural crop (Y) by changing the key process inputs; fertilizers & seed type (x’s)
§ he DOE approach allowed Fisher to understand the main effects of the inputs, and the interactions between the inputs which impact the process output
§The objective is to logically organise changes to 2 or more input variables (x’s) and evaluate if any variable, or any combination of the variables, significantly affect the output (Y)
What is Design of Experiments?
§A DOE is a set of tests on the process output with at least 2 process inputs, each set at 2 or more levels
§The key principle behind the DOE technique is to create a perfectly balanced design which includes an equal combination of process settings

Lean Six Sigma Why Learn Hypothesis Testing?

By on July 6, 2012 in Lean Six Sigma, Uncategorized

To identify sources of variability using historical or current data:

  • Passive: a process is sampled or historic sample data is obtained
  • Active: a modification is made to a process and then sample data is obtained

Provides objective solutions to questions which are traditionally answered subjectively

Works for differences in means, or Variances (Standard Deviations), or proportions

The key principle behind the DOE technique is to create a perfectly balanced design which includes an equal combination of process settings

Consider the example below with 3 key process inputs, each set at the high end (1) and low end (0) of their respective specification (or process variation) limits
