The Business Black Belt programme is designed specifically for business environments. A Business Black Belt is a fully qualified change agent capable of running advanced business improvement projects, and driving change throughout systems and processes

 

Six Sigma is the process improvement methodology of choice for companies seeking best-in-class quality and customer service. Applying Six Sigma achieves structured, project-based improvements: removing sources of variation, and delivering waste and cost reductions alongside increasing customer satisfaction.

 

The goal Six Sigma is to produce breakthrough improvements in process delivery and capability, leading towards no more than 3.4 nonconformances per million (i.e 99.99966% defect free results). Six Sigma features the structured DMAIC problem solving process (Define – Measure – Analyse – Improve – Control) which is applicable across the broad business spectrum: from manufacturing through to service/
transactional based functions.

 

Six Sigma and the DMAIC process embrace leanness and simplicity: waste and cost are driven out of the organisation as process variation reduces and quality levels improve. Furthermore, when Six Sigma is integrated with ‘lean’ techniques, it produces the most potent and significant business improvement strategy available today.

 

SMALLPEICE SIX SIGMA TRAINING

Smallpeice delegates follow a practical, project-based Six Sigma programme that focuses on powerful tools for identifying the root causes of problems, removing sources of variation and improving organisational processes, thereby delighting customers and reducing costs.

 

Our modular programmes combine essential statistical tools (such as design of experiments, hypothesis testing and regression analysis), with well established quality techniques. However, our training is not just about statistics and the purely technical tools of improvement. The Smallpeice programmes also include key modules on project  management, leadership and creative problem solving to produce a uniquely effective set of techniques that can be applied to different business environments.  The training is linked to project work that achieves a measured financial payback for companies participating in our programmes. Our experienced Master Black Belts will help companies to identify the most appropriate Six Sigma projects that attack improvement areas with the greatest payback potential.
