a pleasure to learn the Green belt

Dear Wendy,
 
It was a pleasure to learn the Green belt from you and you made the whole learning process enjoyable and very easy to take in. 
 
The black belt exam is tomorrow, and again it has been an absolute pleasure to be taught by Michele.
 
Once again,  thankyou.

Yours

a brilliant mix of Theory, Praxis

thank you for the very good training – I have enjoyed the training session very much as it was a brilliant mix of Theory, Praxis, interesting Videos and exchange within the training community.

I hope I will get the opportunity to become a Black Belt soon.

I have been thrown straight into (MSA) Gauge R&R.

Hi Yong

 

Just a quick note to let you know I have been thrown straight into (MSA) Gauge  R&R. I do have an opportunity to carry out a full DMAIC project and I am managing to utilise some of the training you gave me.

 

Just thought you might be interested and I will keep you informed of my progress

 

Best regards

GB’s in undertaking their individual projects.

Dear Yong,

 

Thanks for sending the pictures of the course through to us.

I thoroughly enjoyed the course and have taken the LSS deployment  to my organisation, At the NHS they have agreed to go ahead with it.

 

I am currently writing the business case for the projects to come and I will also deliver the actual LSS GB training, with my role also then being to mentor the GB’s in undertaking their individual projects.

Thx for everything

Kind Regards

It’s also a complete other way of thinking.

Dear Rene,

 

Just a few words to thank you for your support.

It was indeed a very interesting training, interactive, very well given.  I am sure it will help me a lot in my job.  It’s also a complete other way of thinking.

Moreover as you could imagine at my age I followed a lot of trainings, yours is one of those I never felt boring.  J

So again, thanks a lot!

thank you for this valuable training.

Dear René,

Thank you for your course! Glad I did that well.

I also wanted to thank you for this valuable training. I learnt a lot and I liked the way the training was given (teamwork, individual exercises, English communication skills, not only theory,…).
It’s a pity I can’t assist to the BB-training, but I will definitely join in the next time.

Good luck with your future trainings/projects and hopefully we’ll meet soon!

Kind regards,

Bilal Makhloufi

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

Lean Six Sigma Why Learn Hypothesis Testing?

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

Lean Six Sigma and Waste

§Lean operations display the following characteristics:

üThe elimination of non-value adding activity – waste

üOnly producing what is required, when it’s required

üClose links in the value chain including supply chain input (JIT)

üDoing things right first time

üEnsuring processes are robust

 

 

§Many of the techniques are simple and common sense
§These Lean techniques and ‘mindset’ are often mistakenly associated with volume manufacturing.
§However the same principles have also been successfully applied in Project Management, Engineering, Supply Chain, Finance, HR etc.

Lean Six Sigma and Value Stream Mapping

§The current state VSM was created in the Review Phase and is analysed in the Investigar Phase for improvement opportunities.
§There are many lean tools & techniques which can be used but the majority of these are outside the scope of EGB training (see EBB Session 2).
§However, the majority of Lean tools & techniques are common sense improvements that become obvious after modelling the whole value stream.
§Potential improvements opportunities are represented as Kaizen Bursts (call-outs) on the VSM, at the appropriate place within the value stream.
§Kaizen is Japanese for improvement.
