About Six Sigma Green Belt Training

Six Sigma Green Belt Training Course Overview:

Six Sigma Green Belt training conveys a simple, effective improvement system. Designed for all Fort Worth students, techniques require no advanced math. Six Sigma Green Belt training conveys technical and managerial skills prerequisite to Black Belt level. Designed for every level in the company, no heavy statistics or even a computer is needed in our Green Belt course. Steps include Six Sigma's traditional DMAIC cycle borrowing from other tools where needed, and interspersing Lean Manufacturing throughout.

What are Green Belt Level Tools?

Our training covers the full Green Belt body of knowledge led by an experienced Black Belt who will help you every step of the way.

Define. First, opportunities for improvement must be defined, contained, and rallied around. We make sure that we're working on the right problem and stakeholder understanding is aligned with the mission. Since Kaizen, and 8D are available for small to medium sized improvements, Six Sigma is sometimes reserved for major, breakthrough projects such as a company's top 5 financial initiatives. Projects are always done in teams. Managerial tools used include: project management, cost-benefit analysis, team member selection, team formation, change management, project charters, policy generation usually for creating or updating containment-related work instructions, and training. Technical tools include: trend charts, Pareto charts, Y to X Mapping and other scoping techniques, inspection / testing. Key deliverables include quantifying the problem's annual financial impact, and diminishing the customer's suffering immediately.

Measure. The team must be certain all decisions that follow are made from trustworthy data. The Green Belt level Measurement System Analysis (MSA) tool for this is Scatter Plot which is reinforced with a fun, hands-on case study exercise. Click the link to see more detail on this topic.

Analyze. Causes must be found. Many root cause analysis techniques exist: 5 Why's, cause and effect (fishbone or Iskikawa) diagram, fault tree analysis, Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), regression, walking the process, etc. And all of these are covered in our training. But, none prove causality like component swapping and Design of Experiments (DOE). At the Green Belt level, we go up to 3-factor, 2-level full factorial reinforced by continuing our case study.

Improve. Causes must be permanently eliminated, which is why you may have heard the phrase, "permanent corrective action". Unfortunately, many folks use this phrase to describe actions with no permanence. Many Corrective Action Request (CAR) and 8D reports contain responses to this question like "retrained the operator" which is usually an insufficient response. The best form of corrective action is error-proofing; some change that literally makes recurrence impossible. Next best would be other physical changes making recurrence extremely unlikely. To help students choose an action, we teach Payoff Matrix, Criteria Matrix, and conduct another cost-benefit analysis to make sure intended actions will reduce total cost. Actions are piloted. If the pilot succeeds, then actions are launched into production.

Control. In the Improve Phase, if error proofing was not possible, then actions must be controlled. Many techniques are covered in training but the signature method is Statistical Process Control (SPC). Green Belt Training focuses on the most common type of control chart - Xbar & R taught in a simplified form avoiding the need for Excel or any computer-based assistance. Managerial tools covered include change control, policy writing, training, mentorship, auditing, and supervision.

Queen City of the Prairie - Where the West Begins

Excellent choice! Fort Worth was established as an army outpost on a bluff overlooking the Trinity River. Thanks to completion of the Texas and Pacific Railway, city Stockyards became a premier center for the cattle wholesale trade. Meat packing firms migrated in cementing a ranching culture. Oil discovery spurred further growth. Now, the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex retains its Western heritage and is known for a world class zoo, amazing museums, insane water parks, printing money, gardens, racing. It's a beautiful area with tons to do after Six Sigma Green Belt Training. Most popular are Fort Worth Stockyards and National History District, Zoo, Water Gardens, and Botanical Gardens.

Facility

The River Plaza office space is situated in an office tower that gives the building the benefit of prominence. Many leading corporations, including a major national accounting firm, international and national oil and gas companies, law firms and financial services, call the tower home. A big draw is the educated workforce, with nearby TCU offering business, technology and management degrees. The newly developing WestBend will evolve the successful University retail district by delivering the critical mass of retail and restaurants, the urban-style pedestrian experience and connectivity to the active social scene on the Trinity Trail. River Plaza is less than two miles away from key destinations in the city, including the Colonial Country Club, the Cultural District, Fort Worth Zoo and Texas Christian University. The office space is well situated for access to the interstate I-30 and Fort Worth Intermodel Transportation Center, where the Trinity Railway Express connects to Dallas and Amtrak to further afield.
