1 Description: The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training and certification program will equip participants with the technical competencies, team leadership skills and change management skills to lead Lean Six Sigma projects using the Lean Principles and DMAIC (Define Measure Analyze Improve Control) methodology. The 10-day program will cover the most contemporary process improvement practices adopted by leading organizations and proponents of Lean Sigma Transformation in manufacturing, service, healthcare, financial, public sector as well as many other industries. Business success in any organisation requires vision, products and services that add value, processes that are efficient, people who are competent and a culture that supports the behaviours of improvement and development. This course will address all these aspects with a significant focus on the cultural change and the role of the Lean Sigma Black Belt in the facilitation, change management and application of the tools to change a culture. The role of the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt is a business improvement professional that is able to support the Lean and Six Sigma implementation journey in organizations, including assisting systems and tools implementation. They possess the ability to mentor multiple teams, monitor performance of all activities and engage leadership support to deliver genuine business improvements. This programme will run over 5 months and will focus heavily on the application of the tools rather than their academic understanding. The course covers the phases of a typical Lean Transformation utilising Lean Principles and Six Sigma: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control. The methodology follows a structured sequence of problem solving techniques and cultural change management to arrive at a solution. Statistics aid in the decision-making process and help to validate the success of changes. Cultural facilitation embeds that change. Audience: This Course is recommended for all those in an organisation who will lead medium or large improvements and who will act as coaches or mentors to others involved in the improvement programme. It is suitable for managers, internal consultants, change agents, project managers, team leaders, business improvement leaders or facilitators. It is a pre-requisite that participants possess a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt or equivalent and have identified a significant improvement project that they will implement over the duration of the course. Duration: Ten (10) days spread over 5 months x 2-day events

3 Additional Requirements 1. All participants must have completed a Green Belt Lean Six Sigma course before we can accept them on our Black Belt Course. Ideally the candidate has complete at least one project. If the candidate has not got a GB certificate or has not done a LSS course of that level, we cannot accept him/her into a public Black Belt course. They must complete our Green Belt course first. Candidates who have previously completed our Green belt course without doing a project put who passed the exam with 80% or more (and received a certificate of completion) can start our Black Belt course. Candidates who have previously completed the Trigraph Data Analytics advanced course, can also start our Black Belt course. 2. It is a great advantage for candidates to bring their laptop to the public course. They must have 'administrator' rights, in other words, they must be able to install software that will be provided FREE during the course. (Minitab 17, Quality Companion and Process modelling tool) and if a candidate is unable to bring his/her laptop we can buddy them up with another candidate who has the use of a laptop. I envisage that there will be no problem for the participants of in-house courses to bring laptops since they are at place of work. All participants are of course welcome to bring their private laptop instead. I must make it clear however that even though the availability of a laptop will greatly improve the learning experience and practical efforts, it is not a must in order to complete the course. 3. All participants must complete and pass (> 80%) a written 'Open Book' exam in order to receive a 'certificate of completion'. This means that they can bring all their written notes and training material, but no electronic equipment can be switched on during the exam. See the exam prerequisites. 4. In order to certify as Black Belt, the candidates must complete a BB project and present this project at the end of the course in a PowerPoint presentation called 'Project storyboard of... (Name of the project).' If a candidate is unable to present the project on the last day of the course, we can schedule another day for the presentation and certification. I also advice that every candidate must be clear about the body of knowledge required by the IASSC. Since Trigraph is certified by the IASSC, we must follow this body of knowledge in order to avoid various flavours of certification. In line with this, if a candidate decides not to sit the Trigraph exam, they can opt out and sit the IASSC exam
