Description
Lean Management for Lean Six Sigma Training & Certification
Note: Optional and free certification and examination by Six Sigma Academy Amsterdam is part of this course.
Purpose of this Lean Management (which also includes Lean Manufacturing) training and certification
Six Sigma Academy Amsterdam was set up by a group of university lecturers/Lean Six Sigma Master black belts from Holland to make a change in Lean Six Sigma training and certification by:
making the Lean Management (and Lean Manufacturing) for Six Sigma training and certification so that we bring accredited academic level education to your home.
making the Lean Management (and Lean Manufacturing) for Six Sigma training and certification affordable.
making the Lean Management (and Lean Manufacturing) for Six Sigma training and certification so that it is fun and engaging. Education is not suffering.
making the Lean Management (and Lean Manufacturing) for Six Sigma training so that it is highly practical. We have eliminated the non-practical parts from the Lean Six Sigma training and focus on the practical parts. We do not just open some silly book about Lean Six Sigma and read it out loud to you. We know what is used in Lean Six Sigma practice.
So far, we have trained and certified over 100,000 students worldwide.
Brief description of this course
This course aims to make you Lean Management (and Lean Manufacturing) certified, after which you can continue the process to become a certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. There is a lot of confusion out there as to the order of the process which leads to Lean Six Sigma Black Belt which is considered to be the end station (for most) in terms of Lean Six Sigma training. If you wish to finish the entire journey, the preferred route is this:
1. Lean Management for Six Sigma training and certification
2. Lean Six Sigma White Belt training and certification
3. Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training and certification
4. Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training and certification
What is this course about?
Lean Management (which also includes Lean Manufacturing) is a separate methodology from Six Sigma. When people introduce themselves as a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, that means that they are certified in Lean Management and subsequently have obtained their Six Sigma white belt, Six Sigma green belt and Six Sigma black belt. How do Lean and Six Sigma relate? Lean Management is a Japanese methodology that aims to reduce ‘waste.’ Waste is defined as any activity that does not add value for the customer. Many of the Lean practices and tools are actually used in Six Sigma. Lean Management feeds Six Sigma. Lean Management will help you cut costs drastically, regardless of sector (manufacturing or services).
What are some of the concrete things that you will learn?

Lean Six Sigma technique: Move from Push to Pull production to reduce waste
Lean Six Sigma technique: Implement a Just In Time (JIT) production system and minimize your inventory
Lean Six Sigma technique: Apply production leveling (Heijunka) and respond to customers faster
Lean Six Sigma technique: Apply Poka Yoke and make your products and services mistake-proof
Lean Six Sigma technique: Apply Single Minute Exchange of Dies (SMED) and switch production faster
Lean Six Sigma technique: Apply Jidoka principle to quickly find abnormalities
Lean Six Sigma technique: Improve supply chains
We hope to welcome you soon.
Best regards,
Team SSAA

Six Sigma Academy Amsterdam started when a number of university lecturers from the Netherlands decided to make expensive Lean Six Sigma education more affordable, practical, time efficient and entertaining. Yes, education should not be punishment. It should be fun too. Education should not waste your time with knowledge that is only useful in an exam. It should make you better in practice.
All course developers and lecturers involved are Six Sigma Master Black Belts and as such able to train students and future instructors. All the Lean Six Sigma programs we offer are accredited based on the Dutch BKO standards and our student experience shows that the degrees are globally accepted and respected.
We have trained and certified more 100,000+ students in the Netherlands, Germany, US, India and UAE, both online and offline. Furthermore, our course designers have supervised projects for companies like Audi, the Dutch military and Lufthansa.
