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 our approach to training, extracts of some of our 6 Sigma case studies that are used in the training, a typical 6 Sigma Black or Green Belt course agenda, the DFSS course agenda or the IFSS course agenda.

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 here to see what our clients say about our training
