We offer our clients a comprehensive program
for a sustained implementation of savings.
Two participants of your company will carry
out a project to achive energy savings in your
plant. During the four months duration, the
participants spend 4 x 3 days at the Learning
Factory and will be accompanied by one of
our experts, helping them applying obtained
skills to achieve energy savings.
The training fee for two participants amounts
to 25,500.00 EUR (plus VAT)
Included are 12 days of training at the
Learning Factory and 4.5 days accompany of
participants to their plant by one of our senior
experts.
Dates upon request.

Our trainings in Lean Six Sigma are based upon
the complementary approaches of „Lean
Thinking“ and the Six Sigma methodology.
Participants learn to streamline processes, to
eliminate non-value adding activities and to
optimize the value creation.
The methodology of value stream mapping and
the DMAIC strategy (Define-Measure-Analyze-
Improve-Control) are applied to processes within
our production line. We utilize the statistic
software Minitab® particularly for statistical design
of experiments (DoE) within the Measure and the
Analyze phase.
Each participant prepares an individual project
work at the Learning Factory, which will be
assessed by a board of examiners. Participants
are issued the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt or
Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification by the
Learning Factory after successful completion of
their project.
The training fee per participant amounts to
6,300.00 EUR (plus VAT)
Duration: 6 days at the Learning Factory
Moreover we offer accompany of participants to
their plant by our experts, in order to support
applying obtained skills.
Dates upon request.
