Program goal and significance

To enhance the professional level in management

This educational program offers a RANEPA certificate on professional retraining and a Lean Management certificate.

The program enhances manager competencies by mastering the Lean Six Sigma methodologies and DMAIC cycle, which optimizes the leader's activities to the maximum. The program is led by Katalin Diossi, PhD, a black belt holder in Lean Management.

Theory and Personal Practice

Lean Management combines the achievements of Japanese and American management schools and is the primary approach to business management.

The program consists of two parts: theoretical and project-based

L6S includes studying mathematical statistical methods, which allow tracking the course of operations within business processes, promptly assessing the likelihood of errors in the product or service, thus ensuring high efficiency of company operations.

Answers to Questions

What disciplines are taught in the program?

  • Lean Six Sigma as Management Approach
  • Lean Six Sigma Methodology
  • Mathematical and Statistical Approaches in Lean Six Sigma
  • Lean Six Sigma in Practice

What is the duration of the program and the schedule of classes?

The duration of the program is 12 weeks. Classes are held three times a week for two hours: Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

What is a final thesis?

The certification is in the form of a written project documentation and Power Point presentation (or similar program). The certification process involves defending the project. The defense includes 2 stages:

  • Presentation of the idea and project using Lean 6 Sigma tools;
  • Questions from the Certification Committee about the project. The first type of tasks is related to checking professional competencies, which a student must possess:
  • know the goals and objectives of the Lean 6 Sigma methodology, have an understanding of the concept's place in management, know the history of its emergence and development;
  • know the DMAIC cycle;
  • understand the organizational structure of Lean 6 Sigma;
  • know the principles of effective interaction with team members;
  • be able to apply the acquired knowledge in practice;
  • possess the skill of using tools for data collection and detailed analysis;
  • possess approaches to decision making based on factual data.

Based on the analysis of answers, project documentation and project presentation, the Сommittee concludes whether a graduate is capable of successfully applying Lean Management methodology in professional activities.

The exam is considered passed if the project report documentation is provided in accordance with the specified standards, and the student answers correctly at least 80% of the questions.

Such programs are rare. How did you manage to launch it?

Two circumstances coincided: our faculty conducts a Management program (with all the necessary disciplines for Lean Production), and we also have a Project Office with super-active project work. In addition, we have a foreign lecturer Katalin Diossi, PhD, holder of a black belt in Lean Management. Her highest level (black belt) gives her the right to conduct part of the training herself and issue yellow, green, and black belts to those who have learned to apply Lean Management methodology in practice.

What form does the certification take?

In the form of a serious exam in front of the Committee. And the practical part is a project developed with the use of Lean Management tools.

Do you have students who have received certificates and belts in this program?

Yes, since 2020, dozens of students have already become owners of yellow and green belts. No one has yet reached the black belt - partly because international requirements include a condition of extensive experience in leading project teams. This experience still needs to be gained.
