A data-driven improvement cycle used for improving, optimizing, and stabilizing business processes and designs. The DMAIC improvement cycle is the core tool used to drive Six Sigma projects.
ISO 9001
Defined as the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). Organizations use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements.
ISO Auditor
Designed to introduce participants to the current QS/ ISO 9001 and ISO 19011 standards. The training is structured to provide a detailed review of the standards, how to document procedures, and how to perform audits. Successful completion of this training qualifies the participant to receive the ISO 9001 Internal Auditor certificate (19-623-8).
Lean Manufacturing
A systematic method for the elimination of waste within a manufacturing system. Lean also takes into account waste created through overburden and waste created through unevenness in workloads. Lean uses the 5 Principles of Lean Manufacturing: Value, The Value Stream, Flow, Pull, and Perfection. Improved efficiency, effectiveness, and even profitability are all byproducts of lean manufacturing.
Lean Office
The application of the “Lean” philosophy to front end processes. A disorganized office is an ineffective office. Once a standard process is established, build the office around that method. Put things where they make the most sense, and get rid of all the clutter.
Lean Six Sigma Yellow/Green Belt
Designed for manufacturing, printing, distribution, service, and healthcare industries.
In order to remain competitive, companies need to be able to effectively eliminate waste (Lean) and improve processes (Six Sigma). Lakeshore’s Lean Six Sigma certificates were designed to teach businesses the skills to simultaneously apply Lean and Six Sigma in order to obtain the “best of both worlds.”
Six Sigma is more than a quality program. It is an evolutionary business process that complements existing quality programs. Six Sigma makes use of the organization’s collective and often untapped intellectual capital resources that exist at all levels. The goal of Six Sigma is to work toward achieving only 3.4 defects per million—a 99.99966% level of product and service quality.
Participants who complete all parts in a belt designation earn a Lean Six Sigma Belt Certificate from Lakeshore in partnership with the Wisconsin Technical College System.
