After a successful delivery of the Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Training in December, 2024, Tincan Island Container Terminal has scaled up its lean journey with the Green Belt Training for team members spanning broadly across functions and departments.
The Lean Six Sigma Green Belt -LSSGB training, a key step within the Lean Six Sigma framework, is designed to equip individuals with the skills to Identify, Scope, Participate and lead Continuous Improvement projects. It focuses not just on the DMAIC cycle (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) methodology; rather it brings in all the Lean principles of Value identification with a target to eliminate waste. These two methodologies combined are a robust and structured approach to problem-solving and process optimization.
The Training session encapsulated a lot of class exercises to ensure not just participation but a solid understanding of the techniques in a simulated set-up related to real day-to-day Terminal challenges.
“For this training, we have identified and trained a total of 36 delegates across the entire business. The goal is to equip the team with project, performance and process tools that would support continued Lean Six Sigma Maturity growth that TICT commenced under a year ago from a Greenfield status”, says Tai Fadipe-Davids, Head, Process Excellence, TICT.
“TICT’s Lean Six Sigma journey is at a level whereby our resources and capability is being developed to identify, initiate, lead and execute small to medium scale Continuous Improvement projects using the numerous tools of Lean Six Sigma. Our aim is to build human capacity that can take ownership of processes, and we believe this will yield the best result in our quest to deliver value to our clients through operational excellence and effective service delivery” Etienne Rocher, Country Managing Director, AGL explained.
