Introduction

An in-depth Lean Practitioner Course

Creating efficiency at work requires more than just a single effort. Daily working habits have to be changed, team initiatives ask for new expertise, and insights have to be shared. During the Lean Practitioner Training, students learn how to become the driving force for such efforts. Students acquire a wide variety of tools and insights, and learn to see and solve the underlying root-causes of any problem. The strength of a Lean Practitioner is to bring teams together. They challenge unproductive habits, involve key stakeholders, and overcome reactive problem solving. Always with one goal in mind: for everyone to meet customer demands more easily.

organisational BENEFITS

Benefits of Lean Practitioner initiatives

Quick but solid improvements is what makes Lean so popular, especially in organisations with operational excellence goals. Continuous Improvements are done through Value Stream Maps, Kaizen events and A3 projects, and results stay within reach, which makes them attractive and much easier to invest time in. Organisational issues that have been a burden since long can be resolved within a single month or even week. Not from behind a single desk, but through group efforts, right where the work is carried out. Besides thorough improvements, Lean activities are also quite fun, as they challenge others to think about work – either their own or in general – and improve on the old standards.

Curriculum

Lean Practitioner Training overview

The Lean Practitioner (LP) Training has been designed for individuals looking to personally use Lean tools and methods. The training covers everything needed to begin from the basics. From the simple understanding of ‘waste’, to more complex concepts such as changing daily habits and the way people think about solving issues at work.

During the training, students perform live exercises and practice with various tools to become familiar with their application. Lean Practitioners possess the knowledge needed to optimize and refine existing processes within an organisation, as well as create new daily working habits. In short, they establish themselves as change agents.

It is possible to use Lean tools in any industry, as any repeating process can be optimized using the tools and methods provided by the methodology. Bring process improvement to your working environment with our ISO-level courses, regardless of your field.

In the next section, we highlight what specifics the training will offer. This intensive setup has one goal: to make you into a skilled Lean expert. With each phase, your knowledge and grasp of the tools will grow, until eventually, you understand how to achieve your goals as a fully-fledged Lean Practitioner.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can I enroll and join a course without any prior experience or knowledge of Lean Six Sigma?

Every course we provide assumes our students start the course without any understanding of the Lean Six Sigma methodology. It starts with the fundamentals and explains every topic that is mentioned without assuming prior experience. During the course, you will carry out simulations and exercises to help you develop your knowledge. If you choose to carry out a project as part of your course, you will be coached and assisted by one of the (Master) Black Belts of The Lean Six Sigma Company to help you get started.

Should I go for a Green Belt or Black Belt course?

This depends on your goals and what you intend to achieve. If you would prefer to employ Lean Six Sigma on a part-time basis, for example alongside other work, the Green Belt course would be the best choice. If it’s your aim to work with Continuous Improvement and Lean Six Sigma on a full-time basis, then the Black Belt course would be the right pick.

Is a Lean or Lean Six Sigma course relevant to my career phase?

Lean and Lean Six Sigma are methodologies that one can start using during any career phase, and this course is the ideal starting point. Even as a beginner, your work can add tremendous value. Either methodology can serve as an addition to your current work, replacing a part of your existing responsibilities. Or it can become a new full-time career, depending on the course you choose.

Green Belt vs Black Belt

The main difference is the scope of your projects. Green Belt course are usually aimed at solving issues that affect a single department stakeholders. Black Belt course tend to tackle long-standing, complex issues that cross departmental lines and affect different stakeholders. The responsibilities of a Green Belt align with those of a project manager. Black Belts carry more responsibilities and take a more active, leading role where they direct other Green Belts during course.

How does the ‘Services’ course differ from the ‘Manufacturing’ course?

The Services course is most fitting for those employed in transactional careers such as general administration, logistics, finance, etc. The ‘Manufacturing’ course is most fitting for those involved with mass production, machinery, factories and automation). Of course, those who complete the Manufacturing course can still carry out projects in the aforementioned transactional fields.

I find statistics a daunting topic, is a Lean Six Sigma course still for me?

The Green Belt course has very little statistics content, as opposed to our Black Belt course. Yet even the Black Belt courses have designed to start at the very basics, on the assumption that our students aren’t familiar with anything related to statistics. We realize the idea of working with statistics can sound somewhat intimidating, but our trainers have helped thousands of students understand (and find their interest in) statistics. Additionally, we offer complementary courses and several videos on our MyTraining™ platform that will help you prepare for, or repeat, specific exercises.

Do you offer any evening- or weekend course?

The Lean Six Sigma Company strives to organise its courses during normal working hours.

This is a conscious choice in order to avoid interfering with the private lives of our students and to get students used to the idea of working with Lean Six Sigma during typical working hours, and continue this habit once they complete the course.

However, some local exceptions apply. Please reach out to our helpdesk at info@theleansixsigmacompany.in if you have any questions.

Do you offer course in other languages?

More information about our worldwide presence can be found on our theleansixsigmacompany.com worldmap page, here you will find in which countries we are currently active and offer training.

What is the right course for me?

This depends on your goals and what you intend to achieve. If you would prefer to employ Lean Six Sigma on a part-time basis, for example alongside of other work, the Green Belt course would be the best choice. If it’s your aim to work with Continuous Improvement and Lean Six Sigma on a full-time basis, then the Black Belt course would be the right pick. The same applies to Lean and our Lean Practitioner and Lean Leader training, respectively.

Should I go for a Lean Practitioner or Lean Leader course?

Lean Practitioners have a different role than Lean Leaders. Practitioners carry out smaller-sized Lean Initiatives on a constant basis and report to stakeholders about their efforts. Lean Leaders on the other hand possess a wider range of knowledge of Lean, lead projects, and train employees so they can start using the Lean methodology themselves.
