Our approach |
|
Learning is achieved
through a powerful combination of:
·
instructor-led
input
·
practical
application
·
facilitated
reflection
·
review and
discussion of real-life examples
·
application to
live projects.
Tools are taught
entirely within the context of the DMAIC and DFSS processes,
to improve practical understanding.
Attendees should aim to
bring a sponsored, approved project to the training to which
they can apply their learning and demonstrate benefit.

6 Sigma and Lean 6 Sigma Training for
Service and Transactional Businesses
Why 6 Sigma / Lean?
6 Sigma and Lean Methods, as tutored and coached by aorist consulting,
can deliver very substantial benefits in service and transactional
businesses.
Improvements across a range of business areas, such as:
 |
invoice errors reduced by over 99% |
 |
Reduction in sales quote times from 45 days to less than 4
hours |
 |
80% reduction in outstanding customer requests |
 |
Greater than 50% reduction in time to resolve queries |
 |
GBP12,000,000 p.a. benefit by reducing process throughput time
by greater than 60% |
 |
Credit returns reduced by 50% |
 |
50% reduction in new product development timescales |
are not at all unusual in the first 6 to 12 months of deploying 6 Sigma
and Lean, with aorist consulting's help, in a medium to large-size service
or transactional business. In fact, most of our clients fund their
entire 6 Sigma / Lean program from the value in just their first wave
of improvement projects.
And these results can be achieved using basically the same people, I.T.
infrastructure and equipment!
In-House 6 Sigma / Lean Courses:
delivered on-site for your people
aorist consulting provides a full range of high-quality
6 Sigma and Lean training, coaching, consultancy and certification at all
levels from beginner (6 Sigma / Lean Yellow Belt) to advanced level (6 Sigma
/ Lean Black Belt). These are available on-site, and some are obtainable via
open, public courses.
If you are more
interested in consultancy support for your projects or your Lean / 6 Sigma
programs, click here.
Each training course is focused on the practical, hands-on
application of Lean / 6 Sigma IFSS, DFSS or DMAIC in service and
transactional environments.
Our courses create tangible, appreciating value by equipping
delegates with the skills, knowledge and attitude necessary to
deliver real results in the workplace.
Many delegates from our
Green and Black Belt courses have delivered benefits of between
GBP50,000 to GBP200,000 from their first projects. Several have
delivered more than GBP10,000,000 benefit on their first projects!
Others have designed new processes, services and products via DFSS,
or successfully innovated services and products via use of
IFSS.
But when delegates consistently make comments
such as these about our training,

it's not surprising they are able
to deliver such exceptional results.
To see how we enable delegates to feel so positive and achieve
results like these, click to see

extent to which clients themselves tell us the courses are
highly
motivational, and create real learning that
delivers results.
Due to client demand, we also offer our
training materials for
license or purchase to suitably qualified organisations and
individuals to help you increase your own delivery capability.
You will notice that our costs are lower than many other training
providers. We achieve this by keeping our overheads low, and passing
on the savings to our clients.
However, lower cost does not mean lower quality. We practice what we
preach in 6 Sigma by delivering better quality AND lower cost. Click
