June 2024 update:

Exciting times ahead as we are currently taking some time to build on the success of our previous training material and put our own continuous improvement tools into action to meet emerging needs of Future Nottingham  

We anticipate testing will begin September 2024. If you would like to be involved in testing the new material as it is developed please get in touch. 

Who should attend:

The course is open to all University staff and Postgraduates.

Course Aim:

This course is designed to give participants a basic introduction to some of the improvement tools and methodologies of Lean six sigma thinking.  The interactive day uses a set of University scenarios to demonstrate how the application of Lean six sigma can achieve understanding, recognition and delivery of opportunities across any organised area.

Learning outcomes:

Participants will have the opportunity to:

• Gain a basic knowledge of Lean six sigma methodology and the thinking that underpins it
• Understand and practice a series of tools that generate sustainable improvement outcomes
• Explore where tools and techniques can be applied in their own working environments to bring about sustainable improvements in their processes and ways of working

The course is a foundation for our Lean courses. Please see the Getting in Shape SharePoint site for more information on the courses offered by the Getting in Shape team: https://uniofnottm.sharepoint.com/sites/GettingInShape-InvestinginOurFuture 


These are face to face sessions, the course will be run over 1 full day.
