JK Michaels Six Sigma Yellow Belt course provides “front line” employees and Six Sigma team members with an understanding of the philosophy and goals of Six Sigma as well as an  understanding of their role in a Six Sigma program. This workshop intensive course walks participants through each step of the DMAIC process utilizing a series of hands-on exercises in each phase to build an understanding of how to work with data as part of a Six Sigma team.

Yellow Belt Course Objectives:

• To understand how you can solve problems more effectively
• To explain the concepts associated with Six Sigma and Lean Sigma
• To introduce the tools used in the methodology
• To answer any questions surrounding - Six Sigma, and Lean 
• To remove the myths associated with the concepts
• To explain how to deploy Lean Sigma in an organisation

Benefit Of attending JK Michaels Yellow Belt Course:

• Change the way you tackle projects and problems to be come more effective
• Understanding of Six Sigma and Lean - show that you are up-to-date with current thinking
• Understand the tools and techniques associated with Lean Six Sigma and Lean

The program concentrates on the basic problem-solving, project management, and statistical tools needed for Green belts to work effectively on Six Sigma business improvement projects.It presents concepts and techniques in an easy-to-understand way that allows learners to apply immediately
The focus of Six Sigma is fundamentally about quality, customer focus and cost, whereas Lean is about cost and speed. This course blends a number of Lean concepts and tools into the Six Sigma DMAIC model. The team leaders and team members are the brains and muscle behind the Lean Six Sigma programme it is critical that they are equipped with the appropriate skills and tools to enable them to deliver current and future improvements.

Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Training Course Objectives
At the end of the four day Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training course delegates will understand and be able to:

• Apply the principles of the Six Sigma DMAIC performance improvement model.
• Establish the “Voice of the Customer” in defining the required performance standard.
• Use a number of measurement approaches and tools to establish current performance.
• Use appropriately a number of basic analysis tools and techniques to establish the root cause of a problem.
• Understand key lean concepts and tools, when and how to apply them to drive improvements
• Recognise the difference in approach and techniques for incremental and redesign
  improvement strategies and know how to decide on the correct approach.
• Establish ongoing process controls and process governance structures

Black Belts are experts groomed in the Six Sigma methodology and
advanced statistical tools. They can come from all functions of your
organization. Although candidates do not need to be statisticians,
they need to be willing to use statistical tools to apply Six Sigma.

Since a key role for Black Belts is to effectively lead project
teams, our program prepares  candidates to do just that. The
JK Michaels Black Belt Program gives  candidates the skills and
knowledge they need for the exceptional leadership of business
improvement projects. Upon completing each segment of
training, participants immediately apply concepts and tools
taught in training to their real-time improvement projects.
Black Belt candidates learn to use:
• the DMAIC model* for process improvement and
• statistical tools and techniques to make fact-based decisions.

 *The DMAIC model is a systematic method for analyzing and improving
business processes.
It consists of five phases:
• Define Opportunity
• Measure Performance
• Analyze Opportunity
• Improve Performance
• Control Performance

This 3-day Designing the Quality Management System to ISO 001:2000 Training Course offered by Ashbrooke introduces participants to the applications of the ISO 9000:2000 series and the Quality Management System.

This course examines and explores these areas:
• Getting Started ... The implementation programme,
• The Quality Management System structure,
• Documents and records,
• System management and controls
• Process mapping,
• Building the Quality Management System,
• Improvement.

Over 50% of the course timing includes 5 interactive
workshops that assists in the participant’s knowledge and pplication of Quality Management System design, development and implementation.

These workshops are:
• The Implementation Programme,
• Defining the QMS Structure,
• Process Mapping ,
• Building the Quality Management
System,
• Setting up a Continual
Improvement Programme Using
FMEA.
Designing, documenting and implementing a
Quality Management System can be timeconsuming
and expensive. The primary mission
of this course is to ensure that investments
made achieve positive results.
