Business Context & Programme Overview

The pressures on today’s frontline managers in Operations, Manufacturing and in Services are

relentless in terms of expectations from customers, senior managers and external suppliers. The

major challenge for them today is the ability to deliver quality products/services in an efficient, cost

effective and sustainable basis. Many believe that “Efficiency” of a business has overtaken “Growth”

in today’s business environment.

It is in this context that Loyola Institute of Business Administration (LIBA), as a leading business

solutions provider, is offering a Programme on Lean Six Sigma Green Belt. The Lean Six Sigma Green

Belt Certification Programme is designed to meet the needs of busy professionals in both

manufacturing and services sectors. Participants will experience an introduction to the use of tools

and methodologies that will empower them to lead as well as participate in Lean Six Sigma projects

in their organizations. Upon successful completion of the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, the participant

will have tools at the ready for participating as a Green Belt on a Six Sigma project. They will also be

qualified to lead teams in a six sigma project.

Programme Coverage

This programme covers the concepts of Lean and Six Sigma for both manufacturing and the services

businesses. Participants are provided an overview of Lean, Six Sigma and the Define, Measure,

Analyze, Improve and Control (DMAIC) problem solving methodology. The programme will detail

and deliver both statistical and non-statistical techniques used for continuous process improvement

such as process definition, process flow diagrams, data collection techniques, measurement

techniques, causes of process variation, pareto diagrams, histograms, cause and effect diagrams,

control charts and process capability analysis.
