Hi,

I have taken GB Certitfication a couple of years ago. Now I want to go for BB and have been asked to build a case on how me getting trained will help the organization.

Background: We are in to Agri Services. we are a small quality team taking care majorly of operations and process quality (non IT)
No BB in team as of now.
I do feel restricted sometimes with current knowledge but how do I correlate it with me getting trained leading to profit/ direct benifit for organization?

Will appriciate help in getting some examples in non IT services (I do not know if it will be available in Agri sector)

Thanks
Anushri

Hi Anushri,

 

Good that you asked this question here.

 

As you are aware, the whole idea in Lean Six Sigma is about identifying projects that have a good business impact, are supported by senior management, finding the right team members to participate in the project, using the best techniques to succeed with challenges in each phase of the project. (D-M-A-I-C).

 

I just noticed that you have been a high scorer in GB and have completed a GB project already. Graduating to Black Belt shall expose you to more details on measurement systems, more hypothesis tests, and above all exposure to the design of experiments. You might be aware that DOE was initiated in agriculture for the first time. In agri-operations, it is tough to confirm whether a specific combination of input variables in use is really the best for crop yield. The only option is to carry out well-designed experiments and use the inferences for large scale benefits. The use of experiments is important to try out new seeds, fertilizers, or new technological advancements.

 

In addition, Black Belt shall equip you with change management concepts and approaches necessary for carrying out complex projects involving several stakeholders (internal or external).

 

Hope this helps.
