As a Six Sigma project winds down, a number of activities are undertaken to hold the improvements and gains achieved from the project. For instance, lessons learned from all phases of a project are documented. Efforts are made to replicate and apply improvements to other parts of the organization. Training for process owners and staff is developed and implemented to ensure consistent execution of revised methods and to maintain them. Improved processes are regularly evaluated to identify additional improvement opportunities. And finally, leading and lagging indicators are monitored to ensure processes consistently deliver expected value to the organization. This course will explore the importance of utilizing lessons learned and the role of training and documentation in sustaining support for Six Sigma improvements. Specifically, it will explore the use of a postmortem analysis, guidelines for developing training plans, and recommendations for delivering the training. Project documentation along with different measurement tools used for ongoing evaluation of the improved process will be discussed too. This course is aligned with the ASQ Certified Six Sigma Black Belt certification exam and is designed to assist learners as part of their exam preparation. It builds on foundational knowledge that is taught in SkillSoft's ASQ-aligned Green Belt curriculum.
