TICT Steps Up Lean Journey Agenda with Green Belt Training
After a successful delivery of the Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt (LSSGB) training in December 2024, Tin Can Island Container Terminal (TICT) has scaled up its lean journey with the Green Belt Training for team members spanning across functions and departments.
Maritime Bits checks reveals that LSSGB training remains a key step within the lean six sigma framework and it is designed to equip individuals with the skills to identify, scope, participate and lead continuous improvement projects.
In the same vein, it focuses not just on define, measure, analyze, improve, and control (DMAIC) methodology but it also brings in all the lean principles of value identification with a target to eliminate waste.
A statement issued by the management of TICT and made available to Maritime Bits stated that these two methodologies combined are a robust and structured approach to problem-solving and process optimization.
The statement which was issued by Mr. Philip Ojo of the Corporate Communications Department stated that 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.
It also quoted TICT Head, Process Excellence, Mr. Tai Fadipe-Davids saying: “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.”
On his part, the Country Managing Director, AGL, Mr. Etienne Rocher said: “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.”
