Employees obtain Orange Belt certificate

Last year, 7 of our colleagues started the Lean Six Sigma Orange Belt training. This is an internal training given by our own Master Black Belt, Frans Andeweg. He has set up the training according to the DMAIC model.

Theoretical knowledge

During eight sessions, French connects theory to practical assignments. The theory of the training includes the following topics:

• What is Lean? What is Six Sigma?
• Working with a project charter
• Belbin Team Roles
• Data types: nominal, ordinal, interval, ratio
• Methods for devising solutions
• Methods for continuous improvement
• Change management
• Methods for safeguarding changes

Practical assignments

Various assignments were completed based on the acquired theoretical knowledge. Examples of this are:

• Formulating hypotheses
• Set up and implement measurement plans
• Data collection
• Carry out analyzes: step-by-step plan, selection of the correct method
• Application of improvement methods such as SIPOC, 5x WHY and Kano Model Analysis

Our colleagues have recently successfully completed the training. They received the certificate on 24 March 2021. They can now lead small improvement projects themselves and contribute to our extensive Lean projects. In addition, they can continue their Lean training by obtaining the Green Belt certificate.
