PRE-PROGRAMME
COMPANY VISIT
Before
the main programme commences, delegates will be visited at
their company for a pre-programme introduction and project
scoping session. Ideally, this session includes meeting with
the delegate/s sponsor/s to scope project work and agree
success criteria and financial metrics for the project work |

STATS GROUND SCHOOL (Optional)
A practical pre-programme session
on basic statistics can help to refresh the principles before
attending the main programme. Alternatively, delegates can be
provided with pre-course work and reading in order to refresh
knowledge of some of the commonly used statistical tools

delegates work on individual PCs to learn the software which

PROJECT
WORK
Project work takes place
between the training sessions
During the first week of the
programme each delegate will spend time with an experienced
Six Sigma practitioner to ensure that the objectives, scope
and direction of their project are clearly outlined (building
on
the work initiated during the
pre-course visit) At the start of each of the training
blocks formal project reviews will be held with the group,
and advice will be given about project progress and planning
In addition, delegates are
provided with a web forum, email and phone access to their Smallpeice project mentor for ongoing help and advice
