Why are this Lean Process and Six Sigma course essential?

Lean is a systematic approach to reduce or eliminate activities that don’t add value to the process. It emphasises removing wasteful steps in a process and taking the only value-added steps. The Lean method ensures high quality and customer satisfaction.

It helps in

  • reducing process cycle time,
  • improving product or service delivery time,
  • reducing or eliminating the chance of defect generation,
  • reducing the inventory levels and
  • optimising resources for key improvements, among others.

It is a never-ending approach to waste removal, thus promotes a continuous chain of improvements.

Six Sigma is a data-driven problem-solving methodology. The focus is on process variations and emphasis is given to customer satisfaction. Continuous process improvement with low defects is the goal of this method.

Six Sigma aims to make a process effective with – 99.99996 % defect-free. This means a six sigma process produces in 3.4 defects per million opportunities or less as a result.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
