Lean Six Sigma concepts and techniques are taught utilizing Interactive Physical Simulation Fighter Aircraft Factories and Catapults. Bootcamp lectures are presented on Lean 5S, standard work, pull systems, bottleneck analysis, multiple regression analysis, and the Design of Experiment (DOE) analysis, then applied with student teams in Interactive Physical Simulation, which increases the retention of concepts and techniques.

ONSITE CERTIFIED PHYSICAL INTERACTIVE LEAN SIX SIGMA WORKSHOPS

Let’s meet and discuss

Certified Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Workshop - $395/seat

This one-day workshop provides an understanding of Lean Six Sigma principles and techniques for global excellence deployment for Industry 4.0. It introduces the basic building blocks to a Global Excellence culture with Design Innovation, Lean Six Sigma, and the Digital Thread as a three-pillar base strategy to success during the transformation to Industry 4.0.

Certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Boot Camp Workshop - $1,495/seat

This course is a 3-day Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Bootcamp for Industry 4.0. It focuses on fundamental Lean Six Sigma concepts and methodologies that improve and enhance the ditigal thread in manufacturing and service industries. The course introduces the participant to the digital thread, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), advanced robotics, 3D printing, networking, cloud, cybersecurity, big data, and analytics. One of the case study examples from a Fortune 500 Medical Devices Company shows how “Value Stream Mapping,” the complete customer service digital thread helped the company modify and upgrade its software. The improved software successfully tracked approximately 6000 medical generators in an exchange program involving over 500 hospitals and medical clinics.

Each participant will learn the tools and techniques of the lean six sigma philosophy of management that focuses on eliminating defects through practices that emphasizes understanding, measuring, and improving processes. Each participant will learn how to use statistical data and equations to solve problems and improve processes.

Each participant will be separated into equal teams to participate in an interactiive physical simulation fighter aircraft factory using K’Nex building blocks. Each team will be a seperate business that assembles and provides fighter aircraft to the customers based on the customer’s demands. Each team will produce fighter aircraft in their current state and utilize the DMAIC process to generate and verify their future state. This is a fun and practical method of learning Lean concepts and principles. This course will prepare professionals to be an improver of future systems in Industry 4.0.

Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Boot Camp Workshop - $2,495/seat

This course is a 5-day Lean Six Sigma Black Belt for Industry 4.0. Green Belt’s knowledge of Lean Six Sigma concepts and principles are required. The course will teach you a higher level of statistical problem solving and process improvement techniques. The course will cover all of the tools and techniques used in the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC methodology.

Each participant will be separated into equal teams to participate in two interactive physical simulation bootcamps called “M&M Sweet Statistics” and “Lean Six Sigma Catapult.” In the M&M Sweet Statistics bootcamp, the participant will learn and do the following:

  • Gage R&R Study

  • 1 Sample T-Test

  • Paired T-Test

  • 1-Proportion Test

  • Chi-Square Test

  • Linear Regression Analysis

  • Multiple Regression Analysis

  • Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)

  • Design of Experiments (DOE)

All of these workshops are designed to maximize the participants’ learning. They are a fun and practical method of learning Lean Six Sigma Black Belt concepts and principles. After you have learned about statistical analyses, you get to eat M&Ms. This course will prepare professionals to improve future systems in Industry 4.0.
