Lean in Healthcare is concerned with delivering the best service

form your patient's perspective while consuming the fewest

resources. The challenge is calling something that's accepted as 'just

the way we do it' by a new name: WASTE.

Objectives:

Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

Improve their response and outlook by simultaneously

optimising patient quality and decreasing cost using Lean Tools

Recognise opportunities where Lean approaches can improve

processes within and between departments (identify waste)

Apply the appropriate Lean methods and tools to visualise,

measure and tactically improve processes for the mutual

benefit of the patient and staff (eliminate waste)

Construct value stream maps to guide focused improvements

Develop a mindset shift in error prevention by investigating why

and how errors occur rather than who causes them.

Employ the roadmap for achieving Lean processes in healthcare

SQT Training Ltd


This Lean Six Sigma Black Belt 21 day programme consists of 4 days training per month, over 5 months followed by a day of project presentations. The unique feature of this Black Belt programme is that certification is only achieved on completion of a major project, documenting application of the learning tools and evidence of the savings generated. Projects completed by delegates who have attended SQT’s Lean Six Sigma training courses have yielded significant cost savings, (in excess of €40 million), for Irish industry leading to increased competitiveness/improved job sustainability/company viability. Typical Lean Six Sigma Black Belt projects are yielding savings of €300,000 per project. The project forms a major part of the training process as it is only by ‘doing’, that people really learn the tools and techniques of Lean Six Sigma. For this reason the SQT training is specifically designed to be very practical and hands‐on so that delegates, once they achieve Black Belt status, can go on to lead major improvement initiatives and drive lasting change within their respective organisations. The aim of the programme is to produce graduates who possess advanced knowledge of theory and practice of Lean Six Sigma to enable them to establish and/or take leadership roles in process improvement efforts in manufacturing or data intensive service organisations.

On successful completion of this programme the delegate will:

have a good understanding of advanced process statistics, including industrial designed experiments, and their application to expanding the boundaries of current knowledge within an existing, manufacturing or service industry, process

have detailed knowledge and understanding of a wide range of problem solving principles, tools and techniques and the manner in which these are combined in the overall pursuit of business process improvement via Lean Six Sigma

demonstrate the ability to draw conclusions from data through the use of advanced analytical and/or statistical techniques

be able to confidently engage in and successfully resolve process engineering projects in both the technical and managerial aspects and communicate effectively their resolution.

demonstrate, through leading a project, that the learner thoroughly understands the rigour and discipline of the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC methodology

be able to apply Lean Six Sigma concepts and advanced problem solving skills learnt in a variety of contexts in manufacturing and service environments

deliver significant financial and/or customer benefit for the learners employer (target of €100k annualized, €50k for SME’s) through a proactive, investigative and data driven problem solving approach

be able to research process engineering issues and solutions to issues, taking responsibility for his/her own learning in unfamiliar learning contexts

be able to work independently or effectively lead a cross functional team to solve complex process engineering problems

demonstrate the ability to overcome resistance to change in an organisation through effective communication with and influencing of key stakeholders

The Six Sigma Green Belt is a specially trained team member within

his or her function‐specific area of the organisation. This focus

allows the Green Belt to work on small, carefully defined Six Sigma

projects, which require less than a Black Belt’s full‐time

commitment.

Our Green Belt Training provides participants with strong problem‐

solving skills, with an emphasis on the DMAIC (Define, Measure,

Analyse, Improve and Control) model.

The Green Belt has two primary tasks: first, to help successfully

deploy Six Sigma techniques, and second, to lead small‐scale

improvement projects within their respective areas. In a support

role, Green Belts can do much of the data‐gathering analysis in

support of a Black Belt project. On the Green Belt course you will

learn how to use many of the Six Sigma problem‐solving methods

and statistical tools to contribute to the success of your

organisation.

On this six‐day Six Sigma Green Belt course participants will

complete a practical business improvement project and pass a

written multiple choice examination.
