CURRICULUM

Detailed Course Syllabus

Module	Topics / Lessons
Module 1: Lean Six Sigma Foundations and Business Value Introduces Lean Six Sigma, its relationship with business performance and the importance of customer satisfaction, defect reduction and shareholder value.	Understanding Lean Six Sigma — Define Lean Six Sigma and examine how it combines process improvement thinking with the use of statistical tools. 45 min Customer Satisfaction and Process Performance — Explore how process quality, delivery performance and customer expectations influence business outcomes. 45 min Defects, Waste and Non-Value-Adding Activities — Identify common process problems, rejected outputs and activities that do not add value for the customer. 45 min Selecting an Improvement Opportunity — Learn how to describe a practical improvement opportunity and connect it with an organisational goal. 45 min
Module 2: Define Phase and Project Framing Builds the foundation for a Lean Six Sigma project by defining the problem, customer need, scope and intended outcome.	The Purpose of the Define Phase — Understand why a clearly defined problem is essential before collecting data or proposing solutions. 45 min Problem and Opportunity Statements — Draft precise statements describing the current issue, its effect and the improvement opportunity. 45 min Customer Requirements and Improvement Objectives — Translate customer expectations into practical process-improvement objectives. 45 min Project Scope and Documentation — Set project boundaries, identify relevant stakeholders and prepare the initial DMAIC project document. 45 min
Module 3: Measure Phase and Process Understanding Focuses on understanding the existing process and organising information needed to evaluate its current performance.	Mapping the Current Process — Document process stages, inputs, outputs, hand-offs and areas where defects or delays may occur. 45 min Identifying Measures and Defect Definitions — Select practical measures and establish a consistent way to describe and record defects. 45 min Data Collection Planning — Prepare a data-collection approach that identifies what information is needed, where it comes from and how it will be recorded. 45 min Establishing the Current-State Baseline — Organise collected information to describe the current process and provide a basis for improvement analysis. 45 min
Module 4: Analyse Phase and Root-Cause Investigation Teaches learners to examine process information, distinguish symptoms from causes and develop evidence-based explanations for defects.	From Process Symptoms to Causes — Separate visible process problems from the underlying causes that may be responsible for them. 45 min Using Statistical Thinking — Understand how structured data analysis can support process decisions and reduce dependence on assumptions. 45 min Cause Investigation Workshop — Analyse a practical defect scenario and organise possible causes for further examination. 45 min Prioritising Improvement Causes — Evaluate likely causes according to their relevance to the defined problem and customer impact. 45 min
Module 5: Improve Phase and Solution Development Covers the development, comparison and documentation of actions intended to improve process performance and reduce defects.	Generating Improvement Ideas — Develop improvement options that address identified causes and remove non-value-adding activities. 45 min Evaluating Proposed Solutions — Compare improvement actions based on process relevance, customer benefit and practical feasibility. 45 min Improvement Implementation Planning — Create an action plan covering responsibilities, sequence, expected results and required follow-up. 45 min Reviewing Expected Business Value — Connect proposed improvements with defect reduction, process performance, customer experience and organisational goals. 45 min
Module 6: Control Phase and Sustaining Results Explains how to maintain improved performance through standardisation, monitoring and clear follow-up practices.	Purpose of the Control Phase — Understand why improvement work must be protected from process drift and inconsistent execution. 45 min Process Standards and Ownership — Document the improved process and clarify the responsibilities needed to sustain it. 45 min Monitoring Process Performance — Plan regular checks and define how deviations, defects or deterioration will be recognised. 45 min Control Plan Preparation — Prepare a practical control plan linking measures, review frequency, ownership and corrective action. 45 min
Module 7: Lean Six Sigma in Business and Software Processes Applies the course concepts to business processes and, where relevant, software-development workflows for learners with programming knowledge.	Process Improvement in Business Workflows — Review how Lean Six Sigma can be used to examine hand-offs, delays, rework and customer-facing outcomes. 45 min Process Improvement in Software Development — Relate defect reduction, process consistency and quality thinking to software-development activities without assuming a specific technology stack. 45 min Customer Experience and Delivery Performance — Examine how process changes can support a more consistent customer experience and improved delivery practices. 45 min Choosing a Suitable Application Area — Select and justify a process context for the learner's final project or assignment. 45 min
Module 8: Capstone Project, Presentation and Review Consolidates the programme through a complete project using the DMAIC structure, ACLM assignments and instructor feedback.	Capstone Project Planning — Confirm the project problem, scope, customer relevance, measures and expected improvement outcome. 45 min DMAIC Report Development — Compile the Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control work into a coherent project report. 45 min Project Review and Feedback — Review the project findings, assumptions, improvement actions and control approach with the instructor. 45 min Final Presentation and Learning Recap — Present the completed project and consolidate the key Lean Six Sigma concepts covered during the course. 45 min
