SSMI – the Dr. Mikel J. Harry Six Sigma Management Institute has joined
forces with the MWCC.
We are pleased to announce that an agreement has been reached between the MWCC and SSMI to provide our members and clients the premier Lean Six Sigma Belt Certification from the organization founded by the Co-Creator and Chief Architect of Six Sigma – Dr. Mikel J. Harry.
Bill Smith, Dr. Harry & Bob Galvin began the Six Sigma venture at Motorola in the 1980’s, and Dr. Harry carried Six Sigma to the world in the 1990’s and 2000’s with historic impact at many organizations like General Electric, Allied Signal and Dupont
Beginning in June 2022, our members will have the ability to become certified Lean Six Sigma Belts through SSMI’s Blended Learning Platform. SSMI’s curriculum is the world’s most comprehensive BoK (Body of Knowledge), without the price tag of other service providers.
Members will be able to choose from any of the offered Belt Certifications from a Master Black Belt all the way down to their new “Action Belt” which is a crash course in Lean Six Sigma that can be completed in as little as 8-hours. Your employees can be trained today and begin improving tomorrow.
Reach out to Joyce La Padula at joyce@leanmaryland.com to explore the possibilities! Check our calendar for more information.
REGISTRATION IS OPEN FOR OUR 2023 LEAN FACILITATOR CERTIFICATION PROGRAM (limited seating available) Since 2005, the Maryland World Class Consortia has trained and certified hundreds through our flagship program, the Lean Facilitator Certification Program (LFCP). LFCP is designed to grow your internal lean transformation specialists. The 2023 Lean Facilitator Certification Program is designed around a series of 4 in-person classroom sessions held at monthly intervals. Each monthly session meets for four consecutive days, for a total of sixteen classroom days. In these classroom sessions, LFCP candidates fully engage and learn through instruction and group activities about the principles, tools, techniques, and skills necessary to create and sustain lean change. The skills developed in this course are designed to build in-house talent - the process improvement knowledge and experience needed to lead transformation projects on your organization's Lean Journey. Our curriculum is designed to align with the national Lean Certification's Body of Knowledge, and LFCP students can optionally pursue their Lean Bronze Certification through this course with guidance by our experienced Facilitators.
This course can be provided to one company or in combination with several companies provided there is a minimum of 9 participants.
Join us for a deep dive into the tools, systems and principles of Lean Thinking. Contact Joyce La Padula at joyce@leanmaryland.com.
