LEAN SIX SIGMA

Lean Six Sigma is not a new methodology. It actually has a history that goes back many decades. So what does Lean Six Sigma do? What is the aim? At this point we won’t go into too much detail, but the absolute essential goal of Lean Six Sigma is first of all to reduce waste or non-value adding activities. This saves costs. The second goal is to deliver quality goods or quality service that matches the norms as set by the organization. The aforementioned goals are goals that are relevant for every sector and for that reason we can state that Lean Six Sigma is beneficial in every single sector.

There is a hierarchy in Lean Six Sigma that is shown by belt colors. You start as a certified Lean Six Sigma white belt, then you progress to become a certified Lean Six Sigma yellow belt, after which you can continue to become a Lean Six Sigma green bet and a Lean Six Sigma black belt.

As you progress from certified Lean Six Sigma white belt to other belts, you gradually increase your Lean Six Sigma skills. These skills are very concrete and quite in demand in the job market. At this point, we do not ask you to take our word for it, but we invite you to actually do a bit of online research and find out for yourself.

Please note that unlike some other subjects, Lean Six Sigma does not have a universally agreed upon body of knowledge, or a universally agreed upon training and certification procedure. We are very open about this issue, because it should be known by every prospective Lean Six Sigma student. Make an informed decision by reviewing your (employer’s) Lean Six Sigma needs/expectations and compare that with what various Lean Six Sigma training institutes are offering in terms of training and certification and subsequently choose the training and certification that best meets those needs.

The Lean Six Sigma tools that you learn range from qualitative ones to quantitative Lean Six Sigma tools.

SIX SIGMA ACADEMY AMSTERDAM

Six Sigma academy Amsterdam (SSAA) is an initiative of an international group of university lecturers from Holland who have supervised projects at some of the largest organizations in and outside Holland. The aim was to teach what we already taught offline to university students and make that training more affordable, more accessible, more convenient, whilst making sure that it was practical, fun and easy to grasp. You do not need a particular set of mathematics or statistics skills to keep up. This Lean Six Sigma training is going to be very accessible for people from various educational backgrounds.

The Dutch BKO accreditation is an academic grade type of accreditation which differs from an accreditation that commercial parties offer to training institutes. This type of accreditation can only be obtained by academics. Although it is a Dutch accreditation, our experience shows that it is extremely well received outside Holland as well because of the academic nature.

SIX SIGMA, LEAN SIX SIGMA AND LEAN

Sometimes you hear six sigma, sometimes lean six sigma and sometimes lean. What's the story? Lean and Six Sigma are separate. Lean is primarily about reducing waste. Six Sigma is primarily about reducing defects. Lean Six Sigma is Six Sigma with Lean techniques and Lean tools incorporated in it. Lean Six Sigma does not incorporate the whole Lean philosophy in itself. Lean Six Sigma only borrows from Lean pragmatically. So Six Sigma is the pure Six Sigma methodology without Lean elements. Lean is a separate management philosophy and Lean Six Sigma borrows some Lean tools and techniques. Lean has no belts. Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma do have belts to indicate level of mastery.
