Explore the basics of lean six sigma, its concepts, methodologies, and tools, and build a solid foundation to apply the methodology and benefit your business.
Lean reduces waste and Six Sigma lowers defects using deterministic reasoning and the define, measure, analyze, improve, and control method to boost value and cut costs.
Explore lean manufacturing by identifying and eliminating waste (muda) and reducing unevenness and overburden. Apply five lean principles—value, value stream, flow, pull, perfection—and integrate lean six sigma to improve performance.
Clarifies lean six sigma language by defining defects, opportunities, and dpi mo, with dpo and sigma levels, and introduces natural and special-cause variation and muda.
Trace the history of lean six sigma from Motorola's 1986 six sigma origins to its broader industry integration.
Lean Six Sigma emphasizes making decisions from facts by using the knowledge cycle: knowledge, questioning, and measuring, to understand processes and prevent problems with data-driven, customer-focused analysis.
Explore six Lean Six Sigma concepts in organizations, including determinism, need, question, quality, value, and process, to target root causes and close gaps.
Learn the core Lean Six Sigma concepts for the organization, from customer requirements and complexity to yield, opportunity, and behavior. Understand how risk, loss, measurement, and variation drive improvements.
Learn the dmaic data driven problem solving method in Lean Six Sigma, covering define, measure, analyze, improve, and control, with ctq, baseline data, and design of experiments.
Explore the levels of Lean Six Sigma certifications from white to master black belt, detailing each belt's competency, including qualitative tools, statistical analysis, and design of experiments.
Explore the seven basic quality tools of Lean Six Sigma, including the cause-and-effect (fishbone) diagram, check sheet, control chart, histogram, parental chart, scatter diagram, and stratification, to improve problem solving.
Explore Lean Six Sigma case studies across industries, from rapid changeover improvements to healthcare wait-time reductions and Starbucks' global implementation driven by the voice of the customer and waste elimination.
Explore the foundations and methodologies of lean six sigma, eliminating waste and variation to deliver value across all organizational levels. Identify opportunity-level improvements to re-examine processes and continuously improve.

COMPLETE COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Hi! I am ROBERT PYRE, an engineer, a professional in manufacturing, and a certified Master Black Belt in Lean Six Sigma. I will be your instructor in this series of lectures on Lean Six Sigma - to guide you on how the philosophy delivers breakthroughs in your work or business.
Lean Six Sigma is a body of knowledge - a large umbrella of concepts, methodology, and tools with varying levels of complexity and understanding. But don’t be scared or lose your enthusiasm. We will begin with the basics. The goal of this course is to introduce you to the core concepts and build the foundation.
What is Lean Six Sigma? Who is it for? What is its methodology? How will the business benefit from it? You will be able to answer those questions as we go along the lessons.
Lean Six Sigma is a combination of Lean and Six Sigma. Lean focuses on the reduction of waste in the processes through standard work while Six Sigma aims to reduce the variations through analytical and statistical tools. Their combined objectives make Lean Six Sigma a powerful discipline in improving performance across different industries or operations.
Why Six Sigma? Six Sigma level means 3.4 defects per million opportunities. Achieving this quality standard is one of the answers to increasing the value of a product or service to delight the ever-growing expectations of the customers.
This is virtually zero defect - no more rejects in the manufacturing line or lost luggage for every thousand opportunities.
How does Six Sigma feel? If you are traveling in a plane, there is almost zero probability of major disaster. You will arrive at your destination safely with utmost certainty.
Six Sigma is twenty-thousand times better than the 3-sigma level! And in a highly competitive landscape of business, this is beneficial. How can this be achieved?
Six Sigma is more than just a statistical concept. It is a process improvement methodology to understand and reduce the variations that cause defects. Six Sigma is based on deterministic reasoning. This philosophy is generally illustrated by Y equals f of X, where Y is the output, X is the input and the function is the process or transformation that relates the Y and X. In simpler terms, the outputs or the effect or the problem happens because of the changes in the inputs or the causes.
In this course, we will LEARN about:
- What is Six Sigma?
- What is Lean?
- Understanding the Lean Six Sigma Language,
- History of Lean Six Sigma,
- Lean Six Sigma Core Beliefs,
- Lean Six Sigma Big Ideas for Organization,
- and much more.
At the end of the course, you will be able to understand:
- DMAIC: Lean Six Sigma Body of Knowledge,
- Levels of Certification and Roles,
- Seven Popular Quality Tools,
- And everything you need to get your professional white belt certification
We will also learn to understand these concepts by looking at case studies to strengthen these theoretical concepts.
The ideal student for this course is either a beginner who wants to get certified in lean six sigma, a student who wants to learn, or a professional who wants to expand on their current skills.
There are no requirements necessary to enroll. I only ask you to come open-minded and ready to learn.
Feel free to take a look at the course description and I look forward to seeing you inside. Thank you!!
