On-Site Training & Consulting

Supplement any of our Certification Courses with on-site classes, training and consulting led by your course instructor and author Paul Keller. Our on-site classes provide an ideal complement to the self-paced online training, allowing more detailed discussions of topics and focus on the project and program deployment issues pertinent to your business. Topics addressed within the on-site classes can be modified according to the particular needs of the organization, to maximize the use of the budgeted on-site days.

Champion Training: Our Lean Six Sigma course for executive leadership and operational management based on Paul's Six Sigma Demystified and Six Sigma Handbook textbooks. Each topic in the two-day agenda includes workshops to uncover issues specific to an organization, which can impact elements of the deployment, often in subtle ways:

• Identify & mitigate potential stumbling blocks to the Lean Six Sigma deployment.
• Align project selection criteria with critical strategic business objectives.
• Define methods for project sponsorship, approvals and verification of gains.
• Establish general goals for Lean Six Sigma Leadership Team and metrics to gauge progress.
• Discuss human resource challenges and organizational cultural issues; Develop initial communication plan.
• Define an implementation schedule for project team training and project deployment.
• Select the Green Belt and Black Belt candidates.
• Select Lean Six Sigma course projects for the first wave project teams.

Project Team Training & Mentoring: Our blended-training model provides students 24/7 access to our Online Training materials, supplemented with classroom sessions, all based on Paul's Six Sigma Demystified and Six Sigma Handbook textbooks. The online materials include the same instructor slides used in our on-site courses, with online quizzes to gain confidence in the materials as well as a certification exam to further demonstrate proficiency.  The on-site sessions include both training on the core analytical topics provided in the online materials, as well as workshops facilitated by your instructor to apply the subject matter, sometimes to sample data and other times to real project data. The length and frequency of the on-site sessions are customized based on the specific needs of the organization, considering the number of project teams, availability of projects and supporting Black Belts, as well as budget, with costs reduced through efficient use of Web-based conferencing. An example blended-training agenda for LSS project teams is shown here. 

SPC Training:  Our popular online SPC training can be delivered on-site by Paul Keller, author of SPC Demystified. Typically a two-day on-site class, the agenda can be customized or expanded to include special sessions for data entry personnel and more detailed sessions for the support engineers, as well as SPC software training using any of our SPC software.
