Although in some parts of the world, stock prices have blown through the ceiling, nothing after COVID will be the same considering the graphs and analysis of the past recession and depression. The temporary glitch could be a correction and people’s desperate enthusiasm after some promises made for CORONA VIRUS VACCINE in near future. However, the WHO prediction that US will not see the same ease in health crisis until 2022 and need for active social distancing till then, the rise and records of increasing number of patients each day and the winter season will make it very hard to control the COVID in near future. History tells us that the hard hit of recession is expressed averaging after 1 year of start of recession. Also a one year near depressive economic condition is likely to affect the job, market and world economy for the next 5 years if not a decade. We are walking to a bad time soon if not prepared.
It’s very important to go for building a strong resume and add up the professional skills to your basket for the next upcoming financial and social crisis. I have been teaching about lean, six sigma, project management and operations management for a decade now to more than 5000 people across 102 countries now and I see no point in time some skills would be relevant in the post corona world than in the past.
Here, I will share with you the top 10 skills that will help you prepare for job and sharpen your professional skills 🙂
SKILL 1- PRACTICAL SKILLS AND TOOLS OF PROJECT MANAGEMENT
We are bombarded with various project management tools in our professional life. These may be the agile model of project management (including the lean, kanban, XP, SCRUM, Crystal Model etc) or the traditional waterfall model or the hybrid approaches where we combine these two.
In the link of the course that I have provided here you will be able to use all the important project management tools from all the agile and non-agile project management approaches including lean and six sigma to help you manage any projects with these project management tools.

The US bureau of Labor Statistics 2019 data shows that the median income of an Operations Manager is $123030 and 2.4 million people are employed for the General and Operations Management Role. Operations Management is one of the most in-demand jobs in the US market and worldwide.
Why MBA in Operations Management and Why this course in particular?
MBA in operations management is a degree that helps day to day management of all the operations of the company be it supply chain management, inventory management, Production planning and control, Quality Management, Operations Project Management and even purchasing and logistics management so that we can provide the customer ‘Improved’ , ‘Faster’ and ‘Cheaper’ products (right place, right time, right quality, right cost).
Why this course?
The MBA degree is very costly to fund when it comes to present COVID or POST COVID crisis period. Although this course guides you with the necessary skills, scholarship options and information on job opportunities, all students may not be able to get the scholarship or fund themselves for the MBA program. This course is an easy approach of bringing up all the necessary basic skills for Operations management role and even prepare the students for entrance exam or help them get the idea to try the operations management roles without even a formal university degree. It’s the skill that matters…not the degree anymore !
What is operational management?
Operations Management consists of all the process that helps in better business and service operation and management including the management of stakeholders, process, services, and understanding and operating according to the voice of customers. Operation management is anything that involves managing operation in order to make a improved, faster and cheaper operation.
What is ‘Improved’, ‘Faster’ and ‘Cheaper’ in Operations Management ?
These three words have different meanings and different implication based on the relevant scenario. For example, if we are talking about the business operation, an improved business operation may mean better quality products, reliable business process, robust supply chain, profitable and value streamed processes directed towards customer satisfaction and customers preferences.
Similarly, if we are talking about the service sectors, an improved operation may mean better quality of the services, better value stream processes and customer-centric services and processes.
Similarly, if we are talking about the manufacturing sectors, improved operational management in manufacturing sector maybe better products in terms of quality and reliability. So ‘improved operation’ may have different definitions according to the job or the business sectors.
Similarly, ‘faster’ in anything means faster business processes, faster delivery of the services, faster communication, faster response, faster manufacturing, faster order placement and any business processes the faster pace.
Similarly, cheaper may mean products and services in a cheaper price or making high quality products with reliable and cheaper technology, cheaper services, cheaper delivery and cheaper manpower without affecting the quality of the product or services.
What is Operational Excellence?
We will surpass traditional understanding about the operational management and use tools and techniques for attaining valued business and processes with different lean and Six Sigma tools in order to outstand from the crowd and be the leader in your business stream.
Operational excellence thus mean Bringing the excellence in product service or any business with far better, faster and cheaper tools and alternatives.

Do you know that the top fortune 500 companies use LEAN as their quality management tools? Be it INTEL who could introduce the new chip to the factory in 10 days compared to 14 weeks 5 years back using lean automation or Bank of America (ranking a golden 6th in Forbes Global 2000 list) who used lean tool like Hosin-Kanri in their management. The Japanese company TOYOTA (With total assets of $473 billions and market value of 200 billion, Toyota motors ranks 12th position in Forbes World’s Largest company list and world’s largest automobile manufacturer in 2018) is actually accredited for developing many lean principles such as pull system, A3 and 5 Why etc.
Wouldn’t it be fun learning from the case studies of these big corporate for developing our small business?
Lean is a continuous improvement and a value oriented strategy of creating more value to the customers (users) using minimum resources with minimization of wastes in every steps of process.
Note:
• Value- Ability to provide the customers what they want in right time, quality and cost.
• Waste-Any activity that utilizes time, space and resources without adding value to the product.
Lean is not just only a cost related practice. It’s way of thinking and organization of entire organization. It helps organization to be innovative and competitive.
Lean Management is the concept of running a business or an organization with continuous improvement with small and incremental changes to improve the value of product or service (with improved quality) and decrease wastes, defects and cost.
There are no particular requirements for this course. Anyone with interest in project management, lean management or organizational management.

Course 5: Lean Manufacturing Mastercourse:25 Tools for Lean Production
Lean manufacturing is a systematic method having the roots in the Japanese manufacturing industry for the minimization of waste without sacrificing productivity.
Lean Manufacturing has huge impressions from the Toyota Production System (TPS). Toyota along with Ford) is a pioneer of different lean concepts and tools like Jidoka (Autonomation), 5 Whys, A3, Just in Time (JIT), Pull System, etc.
What do you imagine when you think of a lean body?
Well, lean is not skinny. It simply denotes a mass with enough muscles and energy without fats.
In Manufacturing System too, lean manufacturing system denotes a system which is devoid of fats (which in this case are the unnecessary steps which are not value adding and wastes or MUDA which may be the wastes created through overburden or MURI and uneven work loads MURA.
This is a win-win situation for all parties,
- Industries win with Lean because they can reduce the cost and wastes arising from unnecessary steps, delivery the product or services to the customers in time and improve the profits.
- Stakeholders win with Lean because, by simplifying the steps, the profits are huge and there is a good transparency.
- Customers win with Lean because they get the superior quality product and services in time without investing a huge cost.
- Employees win with Lean because when the company gets stable and profitable, they have a good professional and financial future in the company. Also, as the lean steps are less complicated and well organized, the same job becomes easy and systematized.
Do you know that the top fortune 500 companies use LEAN as their quality management tools?

Course 6: Design of Experiment-DOE with Minitab for Product Design (Comes with 1 free resource book)
What is DOE?
There are many dependent and independent factors when it comes to designing a successful product, business process, experiments or any successful projects. Design of experiment is a tool not only limited to develop optimal design to develop superior quality product or product design, experiment or product performance but also to reduce the infinite resources, costs, manpower and time in developing any product. Design of Experiments (DOE) is the systematic process of problem solving by adjusting the factors correctly so that we can reach the particular target and make a wise utilization of our resources so that we save time, energy and costs of the experiment. DOE helps process and quality engineers or anyone to design and develop a robust experimental setup.
How can you use the course for your best educational and professional interests ?
1. You will learn how to screen different factors that are responsible for the success or a successful product design. When you are not sure which factors are more or less responsible for the final result, the Design of Experiments can be used as an effective screening tool.
2. You will learn various aspects that will help to reach your targets for your own profession. For example,
- If you are a civil engineer, you may be concerned over the maintaining the optimal parameters for increasing the strength of the building or a bridge.
- If you are a mechanical or a automobile engineer, you may be concerned over the optimum design criteria that will give the highest performance of the automobile.
- If you are a chemist or a bio technologist, you may be concerned over maintaining the optimum environment in the factors that will produce the highest quality results.
- If you are of any other profession the Design of Experiments will help you meet the targets of your business or profession.
3. It will help you learn how to minimize the cost of operation or product design.
4. It helps you to see which factors are most beneficial in your business or in your experiment.
5. You will learn how to get proactive to save time and cost of designing any process.
What can you learn from this course?
- This course provides you with a practical guide to simulated real world examples of designing the experiments with Minitab.
- We learn to examine the main effects of factors to identify the critical factors and read the result of the response. Students learn many terms like Optimization, Interaction, Runs, Blocks, Center Points, Levels, Factors, Repetitions, Replications, etc.
- We also learn Optimizing the design and Main Effects Plot, Interaction plots, cube plots, contour and surface plots, and use the response optimizer to optimize the experimental factors for best possible results.
- We also learn to operate and design full factorial design, fractional design and Taguchi design. Taguchi is a designed experiment that lets you choose a product or process that functions more consistently in the operating environment.

Do you want to walk with professional problem-solving issues that matter for a lifetime? If so, congratulations, this course is definitely for you!
Walking through various journeys as a formulation scientist, Quality Management, Lean, six sigma and quality assurance specialist I felt my skills must be transformed to a learning platform that can help students solve the most basics of the quality problems. Seven Quality Tools will help you walk with skills applicable daily in business and quality management sectors.
Who should be taking this course?
This course could be useful for any professionals and students looking for improving their skills in quality sectors or have an interest in quality management in business fields. The content of the course would also be equally valuable for students anticipating six sigma or lean sigma belt examinations (Particularly Basics, Yellow or Green belts).
The content of the course would also be helpful for PMP certifications and students appearing in Certified Quality Engineer (CQE) and Certified Quality Technician (CQT) exams.
The 7 tools that we would be learning are:
- Fishbone for root cause analysis and looking for potential causes of the problem.
- Flowchart for process mapping where we study simple flowcharts or top-down flowchart for logical process flow, swim-lane maps or deployment maps where we will study the process flow along with interrelation among the different departments and value stream maps which will give us an eagle-eye view of the process.
- Pareto Analysis or Pareto chart based on 80:20 principle meaning 80 percent of results are due to 20% of the causes.
- Histogram for the visual representation of data, trends, and variations.
- Control Chart to understand how a process changes over time.
- Check sheets for collecting and organizing measured or counted data.
- Scatterplot (with stratification) for finding the relationship among the data

Do you know that in the U.S., those with at least one level of Six Sigma training make an average of $17,762/month more than those who had not received Six Sigma training? In Canada a six sigma trained professional makes an average $5,861 more! And a single Master Black Belts make an average of $44,636 more than those without a Master Black Belt! On an average, enterprises achieve 65% of higher project savings by adhering to Six Sigma methodology. Enterprises using Process Improvement Methodology (like lean & six sigma) achieve 40% more ROI than those who did not use it.
Six Sigma is a continuous, controlled and data driven method of eliminating defects in such a way as to go for six standard deviations between the mean and nearest specification limit in any process throughout the life cycle of the product, business or service. To achieve six sigma, the process shouldn’t produce more than 3.4 defects in a million opportunities. We can thus roughly say that six sigma is a mistake free approach of improving the business or service.

Course 9: Root Cause Analysis and Management
Starting with WHY-Why you should consider taking this course ?
1. Feature- This is the only course in RCA so far in UDEMY that describes RCA techniques with different software; Minitab, Companion and Excel. Also, we make sure, you need no prior knowledge using these software while going through this course as this course is self explanatory.
Why? In the present practical world, its not just enough that you only learn the theory. You should be able to use and derive solutions using RCA tools.
2. Feature– This course covers more than 10 simulated and real business case studies for ease of your understanding.
Why? Why not? You should be confident enough to use RCA after seeing how the tools are used in the business and service world.
3. Feature- This course doesn’t just deal with Root Cause analysis but also its management and control part.
Why? Finding some cause as a root of the failure and eliminating them (like what you have learnt in other books) just doesn’t make sense. This course helps you to manage that failure and also make sure that such failures doesn’t get repeated over time with our control features.
4. Feature- Lots of links and resources.
Get yourself equipped with bonus contents, links to certification and courses, links to articles about the topic, links to slides, templates, questionnaire, exams etc.
Why? You should be able to use technology and resources in order to deal with any topics in depth.
5. Feature- Link to questionnaire, exams, training and certification
Why? You should be able to see whether you have made any improvement regarding knowledge and skills.
6. Feature- A step by step approach in solving RCA problems
Why- Whether you are a rookie or a pro, the systematized content helps to digest the ideas of course efficiently.
Business, services, manufacturing and management sectors often face wide range of problems that needs effort to locate, solve, control and manage. Often in deep investigation there is always either a unique cause or set of inter-related causes of the problems that poses huge management, time and financial losses. Root cause analysis is the process of discovering the root causes of problems in order to identify appropriate solutions. It is the process of defining, understanding and solving a problem.
In this course we will first be learning to locate and define the business problems, we will then try to find the major possible causes of those problems and funnel down to find the root cause of the problem. We will then search for the solutions and then take actions to solve those problems …..we are not all done yet….we will further Measure and Accesswhether the solution actually eliminated the original problem under consideration. Unlike the usual root cause analysis practices, this course is thus not only focusing on searching for root cause but their solution and management for future best practices as well….

Course 10: Kaizen Practitioner Certification Mastercourse for Beginners
Note: This is the BESTSELLING COURSE for Continuous business improvement category
How big is Kaizen?
Do you know that almost all FORTUNE 500 companies are using or had used Kaizen during their business growth curve? Be it FORD motor company which survived and recovered the rough times during Great recession of late 2000s, Herman Miller which enjoyed more than 500% increase in productivity and quality in its product and services with Kaizen or even aerospace technology company like Lockheed Martin during development of Joint Air-to-Ground Missile (JAGM) system, Kaizen has always been in lead role. We also may have heard the stories how Canon and Toyota used Kaizen for improving productivity and quality. It is for this reason that Government sectors of many nations have also been largely interested in implementing this technique to improve public sectors.
What is Kaizen ?
· Kaizen is a japanese term (改善) which means to change and put back together in a better way. Kaizen is an all employee involvement strategy of eliminating the wastes from all the process and bring a culture of continuous improvement using lesser resources.
· In English definition, it means ‘Continuous Improvement’.
What not is Kaizen?
· Kaizen is not an organizational’s ‘Get rich quick without effort’ scheme. Although Kaizen Blitz helps in quick problem locating and solving, it really needs dedication, knowledge and effort to bring a great change to your personal and organizational growth.
· It’s not a Manager’s only job. Kaizen works best in overall participation.
· It’s not a one-time improvement policy. It’s a continuous improvement approach.
What is in this course for me?
This course is a step by step Kaizen Training platform for beginners and also for future professional Kaizen Practitioner aspirants. You get knowledge, skills and certification as a Kaizen Practitioner. The best part of the course is, it is an step by step approach starting from beginners to an expert level. It also lectures you with the use of MINITAB and EXCEL where necessary even if you have never used these software before. The first ‘Beginner’s level’ deals with introduction of Kaizen, it’s principles and ground rules, Kaizen procedure and benefits. In the intermediate level of difficulty you study about pillars of Kaizen involving lean tools like 5S, MUDA, MURA and MURI and about 8 kinds of wastes. Finally, you study in depth how to perform Kaizen with an organized lean PDCA pathway.
PDCA stands for Plan, Do, Check and Act.
In Plan phase of Kaizen, we select a Kaizen project with knowledge of who, when and where to implement Kaizen and also learn to perform the GEMBA walk. We select Key performance indicators and set SMART GOALS for our Kaizen project. Finally, we make an ACTION PLAN for our Kaizen project.
In Do Phase we collect and sample data and analyze the data with Checksheets, Histograms and Scatterplots, Control Charts etc with analysis tools such as Cause and Effect Diagram and Pareto Analysis etc. We will learn performing these analytical tasks using MINITAB and EXCEL.
In Check phase, we develop solutions using Benchmarking and Brainstorming, find the root cause of the problem with RCA (Root Cause Analysis), test the solutions and ensure if the goals are satisfied.
Finally, in the Act Phase, we implement and monitor the countermeasures with a notion of continuous improvement.
