This week the OMPT program underwent six sigma training for our green belt certification. The training focuses on spotting process inefficiency. Guided by the ideals developed from top efficiency companies, we learned about how to redesign processes by looking at current systems and trying to find ways to simplify. Once the concepts were shared in a lecture format, we break down into groups to work on putting the ideas into action with assignments such as creating a set of process instructions based on how to fold a t-shirt or making a Value Streaming map. Overall, the training has challenged us to become as specific as possible while looking at a system to identify waste.
