Lean Production
Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification,
Learn about Lean Management, a customer-centric methodology that improves processes by eliminating waste and focusing on value-added tasks.
This course will introduce the main tenets of the Toyota Production System, which includes Just-in-Time manufacturing, quality management tools, and the critical concept of Kaizen, the Japanese practice of continuous improvement. You will also learn about the key organization and managerial approaches that are used in Lean.
You will learn how to analyze process flows in order to establish process capacity and identify the process bottleneck. You will then calculate resource utilization and cycle time to evaluate the impact of set up times, batching, defects and reworks on key process performance measures, including inventory, flow rate and flow time.
We will also discuss the impact of key concepts of Lean, including Heijunka, Kanban, Jidoka, Andon, Poka Yoke, and 5S, which help achieve increased productivity and quality.
Upon successful completion of this program, learners will earn the TUM Lean and Six Sigma Yellow Belt certification, confirming mastery of Lean Six Sigma fundamentals to a Green Belt level. The material is based on the American Society for Quality (www.asq.org) Body of Knowledge up to a Green Belt Level. The Professional Certificate is designed as preparation for a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt exam.

What people are saying
six sigma
I am ashamed to admit that coming into this course I had no idea what Lean Production was and was only taking the course as it was part of the Six Sigma Yellow Belt certification program that I was interested in obtaining.
I took this course to improve my knowledge and apply the Six Sigma methodology to my daily work: office and factory enviroments.
It gave me a very solid grounding in lean production and associated methods and I would recommend it to anyone with interest in the area and working on six sigma.
The course really helps to gain insight into the lean production and six sigma.
It also shows how Six Sigma and lean production are "related" to each other, both being used as methods to not only achieve a certain quality level but to make processess more effective and save resources.
I would like to recommend this course and the another two, to complete the lean six sigma certification, the quality of the teachers, the material, the quick feedback, the examples use are very realistic and interesting.
We all know that manufacturing and construction are on opposite side of the table but incorporating the success of six sigma and lean in manufacturing will greatly contribute on the improvement not only with the quality but also in the iron triangle (cost, scope and time).
I would recommend this course as well as other courses that are part of TUM's Professional Certificate Program to those who want to learn or brush up their skills in six sigma and lean.
