This seminar, the introductory course in Lean Six Sigma as applied to healthcare, will give you a thorough understanding of Lean Six Sigma and its focus on eliminating defects through fundamental process knowledge. Topics covered in addition to DMAIIC, lean, and Six Sigma philosophy, include basic statistics, value stream mapping, statistical process control, waste reduction, process capability, financial implications and root cause analysis. This online course is the equivalent of five days of classroom training.
Overview:
Learn how to integrate principles of business, statistics, waste reduction, and engineering to achieve tangible results in the healthcare arena. Master the use of Lean Six Sigma to quantify the critical quality issues in your company. Once the issues have been quantified, lean and six sigma analysis, including statistics can be applied to provide probabilities of success and failure. Lean and Six Sigma methods increase productivity and enhance quality. As a Lean Six Sigma green belt, you will be equipped to support and champion Lean Six Sigma implementation in your organization. To earn the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certificate, you will be required to pass IIE's Online Lean Six Sigma green belt exam. The exam is included in the course fee. Prior seminar participants have reported significant savings from implementing their projects in Green Belt and Black Belt courses. - A large urban hospital reduced length of stay and was able to postpone a proposed expansion thereby deferring over $7 million in capital expenditures.
- A drug store chain save $173 million by managing its inventory of prescription medications more effectively.
- A regional hospital saved $300,000 annually by eliminating duplication of services.
- A financial services organization saw $128,000 in cost savings per quarter when they reduced transaction processing rework.
- A state agency reduced project cost over-runs by 28 percent.
