Lean Six Sigma Programs

Vative Public and Onsite Lean Six Sigma Programs:

At Vative we have combined the advantages of Lean and Six Sigma to offer three key programs to develop your knowledge and skill to excel your own as well as your organisations Continuous Improvement journey.

The most common overlapping principle of Lean and Six Sigma is the holistic continuous improvement mindset. The Lean and Six Sigma streams also require the fundamental skill of identifying the customer (internal and external) and to recognise that any process that does not add value to the customer is considered waste.

An advantage to Lean is its ease and speed in implementation with Six Sigma brings its extremely robust conclusions due to its use of statistical methods to analyse real data.

Vative’s Lean Six Sigma program material and certification standards were developed with the help of Motorola University.

Vative offer the following public as well as onsite Lean Six Sigma programs:

Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Program – A 1-day introduction to some of the fundamental Lean Six Sigma methodology with participants intended to participate in improvement projects.
Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Program – A 4 day Lean Six Sigma Green Belt is a practitioner level program with participants leading smaller improvement projects. A dual certification option is available where Vative Green Belts will receive a National Graduate Certificate level qualification as well as an International Certification.
Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Program – A 14 day Lean Six Sigma Black Belt is an advanced practitioner level program with participants leading large improvement projects.

“It helped with a great sense of achievement with something I can now apply, coach and mentor with other people in the organisation. The Black Belt gives you great development in your career and prospects to go even further if that’s the path you want to choose.”

Steven Crouch, A W Bell

“A lot of the roles I was looking for required an official qualification in process re-design and process engineering. The biggest take out from the unit has been seeing just how applicable it is to my career as it stands and future opportunities to use the learnings.”
