Your videos are so explanatory, broken down in such a way to ease understanding. Yet, all the lean six sigma tools especially with green belts can be so confusing since it depends on the context of the project or organization. I love that you have so much experience with application of these tools, which tools would you suggest that best works in a service based organization like health and what steps do i take do plan the continuous improvement project?

Weak video ma’am, dig deeper

Hey Amanda! Thanks for your video. I'm not a stranger to Lean because I learnt it on my own to deal with a production-pipeline delay problem in my previous job! It really worked, with the issue getting resolved within about 5 months. I left my job to pursue my master's degree and met some part-time classmates in industry with green belts. I see the value of pursuing belts, and I love the methodology the more I learn about it. I think I will go get my white and yellow belts soon, and then a green belt if the chance presents itself!

I'm late here. But I've had a difficult time trying to get started in this. It seems these departments are ran by industrial engineers or from a project management perspective.

Black belt takes longer than 10 days. And if you are doing a project it will take more time

Thank you for this video. 👍

Hi how are you? i am confused between choosing lean six sigma path or ASQ CQE/CMQ path, i am working as a QA/QC engineer in a steel fabrication/manufacturing factory. please guide me on which path to follow and why?

Amanda, what would be a good framework for process improvement in Finance? Thank you!

Hi Amanda. Could we work together? I might need some mentoring for a new role.

Thank you for sharing❤

Years ago in college I took a course on Quality Improvement that gave me an LSS yellow belt. I'm looking to level up some more now.

I love this video

Hello Amanda. I am looking at getting my green belt certification in six-sigma. I was contacted by a college that would help me get the blackbelt master in 6 months. But watching your video I see that would be rushing things. But would you recommend getting a green belt in six months time and if so would you have any recommendations on where I should go to get it?

Did you ever find the problem statement generator

Great!! U got me attention since the first minute of watching ur video wow

Great presentation 😊

wt is the reconnized body ?

Excellent

So you don’t wreck the fabric, just put them in tumble to get it hot enough to remove wrinkles( about 5 min) after a good shake, put them on hangers. The heat makes the moisture dissipate faster. Seems more time consuming but no folding ( or kids knocking over piles of clothes looking for items) then, it’s just needing hung up, no ironing.🤔

I am dissapointed to only see 1 student on this on her udemy link, I absoltuely love this!!!

I need a certified sigma six website.

Watching right now! Exciting stuff!

As a Lean Six Sigma MBB , agree with you 100 %

who should take these certificates? is it good for business people?

I’m doing my green belt I find lean six very interesting but with now previous experience it will be a challenge getting into the business. These videos are highly informative, thank you

What’s ASQ?

I have a Yellow Belt, and I am in the process of a Black Belt. I haven’t lead any teams, but was apart of an improvement team from a previous employer. I feel in love with lean, but can’t seem to be able to get my foot in the door, to start my lean career. I am not looking for a leaders role, but I want to be apart of it, as my career. How do I go about doing this? Thank you

Does a sales person pursuing mba in marketing need to do six Sigma?

We recently brought in a black belt continuous improvement coach at our company and identified a constraint in the ​retail sector. We implemented the coaching kata and a new rotational system where the manager takes on the role of a coach rather than a boss. I have been enjoying the process and learning about the theories of ​Dr. Gallina, ​Deming, and ​Goldratt, as well as delving into ​value stream mapping and the theory of constraints through the classes with the coach. Despite the coach who is now a hired employee, I am considering pursuing my black belt certification as I believe she will mentor me through my career. Even though I do not have a BA in business, my experience as a corporate trainer and manager in a large retail company makes me confident that I can master it. However, I am unsure if pursuing the certification under these circumstances would be considered a shortcut. What do you think?

Great video.

How good you promise to support me to this training until the last stage of certification. ? Thanks a lot

Hello Amanda, I’m currently working in Supply Chain Consultancy and my boss recommended me to get LSS Certifications (which they pay for me). I just graduated from university and I’ve been working there for only 8 months, and none of the projects that I’ve been in have been DMAIC. So I haven’t got any direct experience with LSS projects. But my boss insists that I should go for Green and Black belts. I have access to the courses, but since I haven’t got experience with LSS projects, I think it’s pointless for me to go for such an advance belt. What do would you recommend me to do/tell him?

What about lean 6 sigma yellow belt? My book from Govind Ramu does not have the word lean on it.

Totally agree, there is no such thing as "Shortcut". I have obtained yellow belt from CSSC. Now, saving up for green belt. I have noticed there is green belt level 2 which requires project experience. Can I ask is there any recommendations on project training cources to help on achieving green belt level 2?

I just finished my white belt. In another video you mentioned its better to do further certification (green belt) after a year. So that is what I will do.

Hello Amenda ! I am pursuing MBA in operations will the Six Sigma belt will help me in the respective domain?

Hi! Thanks for the video, i´m a little new in this. At 1:36, shouldnt the bootleneck be the step 2? it´s seems to be the slower process

As a Manufacturing Engineer, the best solution I can bring to the Define and Measure meetings is a viable problem statement, measurement plan, and available past data :)

Thanks for sharing ma'am.

Thanks guys!

“Not everything that can be counted counts and not everything that counts can be counted” The Japanese culture understands this ideology it’s very very difficult for a western culture to get here…Hopefully age and time will will improve the situation in the West, a cultural change(very difficult)

I'll be honest, I'm one of the short-cutters. I have free access to the classes for certs via military benefits AF udemy (boss literally sent email and said "you can do this if you want" and so I did white and yellow belt in a day, and did the green in about 5 days. I will not, however, go past green belt. I was looking to see if, maybe, I could muster the mental strength for 5 days but nah. Green belt has me whipped. I am a union worker, I work with my hands. I already hit the top of the payscale for my job, and managerial/operational type work is not my cup of tea. Thanks for the video. I mainly did it to kill some time during my deployment. Out of respect for other professionals, I will not shortcut further. I will now pursue a technical cert in my field of work. Hopefully the military will pay for my test. Okay, I am done now. Bye ;)

Hi Amanda thanks for this useful knowledge. I've been dipping in and out of lean six sigma for the last 10 years now. And I've dabbled with getting certified. Many of he clients in work with in technology see six sigma as an outdated concept and are reluctant to listen to any suggestions on the topic. Is it worth me becoming certified in 2023 or has the business world moved beyond these concepts in favor of things like scrum and agile? I think if I do get the certification I would have to entirely rebrand myself as a Six Sigma consultant. which is fine but I'm wondering if theres still enough of a dedicated market for this kind of knowledge? Any insights you could shed on this would greatly help my decision.

Good

Wonderful

I found that ASQ is the most recongnized for six sigma...but as far as lean six sigma I am having difficulties getting a answer for that. There are a few mentioned, that also goes for training providers. Do you have any recommendations?

What belt level do you recommend someone with a BBA in Management/minor in Operation Management, a Master's in Supply Chain Management, and 5 years of relevant work experience to start with first?

Hello, Amanda. Ive worked as a operation supervisor for about 5 years. I have created and developed process within the operation. They have been very successful, then I was asked to travel to help other facilities. Ive done more than I can count “continuous improvement projects”. We had a process development manager, he routinely gave me projects to work on. To the point where I was developing new processes on my own. Analyzing, tracking data, strategic solution options and implementing the process on shifts. When looking at videos I have been using most of the processes my career but only under the supervisor title, it might be time to move up 😂. Do you think I could qualify for black belt?..i believe I have a hand full of projects I could use for the black belt requirement..or would i need to start from white belt?

can't agree more

Nice
