SUMMARY:Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Fall 2025
DESCRIPTION:TMAC’s Lean Six Sigma Program provides a systematic approach to combine the waste elimination methods of Lean with the variation reduction toolset of Six Sigma. The DMAIC process provides the overarching structure for project management\, which helps insure that solutions are sustainable. Students learn through a combination of lecture\, student project presentations\, exercises\, case studies\, and simulations. Instructors emphasize practical application of tools and methods. The median payback for TMAC Black Belt projects is $144\,500/year. \n\n\n\nThe LSS Black Belt class is a rigorous course incorporating both Basic and Advanced problem-solving methods. A partial list of tools covered includes value-stream mapping\, Little’s Law\, measurement system analysis\, process control & capability\, hypothesis testing\, kaizen\, pull systems\, regression\, setup reduction\, process balancing\, and design of experiments. \n\n\n\nPrice: $8\,500\n\n\n\n*** group discounts available *** \n\n\n\nAlready have a Green Belt and looking for a quicker certification? Check out our Accelerator Option! \n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Cobot Test Drive
DESCRIPTION:Upskilling your workforce shouldn’t feel like a gamble or a guess. This is a “try it before you automate it” opportunity designed for manufacturers who are curious about cobots\, workforce challenged\, or just ready to see what the fuss is all about. At this hands-on experience\, you’ll get up close with the Universal Robot UR10e and discover how cobots can support your workforce\, not shrink it. This isn’t a lecture\, it’s a real lab.  \n\n\n\nThis isn’t about hype\, it’s about helping your team do more with less burnout\, fewer repetitive tasks\, and a little high-tech backup that never takes a lunch break. \n\n\n\nWhat’s a Cobot Anyway? \n\n\n\nIn simple terms\, cobots (collaborative robots) are designed to work alongside humans\, not replace them. They’re safe\, compact\, teachable\, and surprisingly good at repetitive tasks that your team probably doesn’t love doing. \n\n\n\nAt this session\, you’ll: \n\n\n\n\nLearn the differences between industrial robots and cobots\n\n\n\nDiscover the role of cobots in augmenting workforce capabilities\n\n\n\nExplore common cobot use cases in manufacturing\n\n\n\nGet hands-on programming time with the Universal Robot UR10e\n\n\n\nBuild your own pick-and-place program with guided instruction\n\n\n\nPalletize like a pro (or at least like a beginner with potential)\n\n\n\nBe presented with a nifty Certificate of Completion\n\n\n\n\nWhy Attend? \n\n\n\n\nBecause your workforce deserves better tools.\n\n\n\nBecause your lead operator shouldn’t double as your automation engineer (close your workforce gaps with collaborative technology).\n\n\n\nBecause watching a YouTube demo isn’t the same as doing it yourself.\n\n\n\nBecause who doesn’t want robot cred?\n\n\n\n\nSpace is limited to 3 attendees per session because real learning takes elbow room. You’ll leave knowing how cobots work\, where they fit\, and a clear picture of how cobots can support your current workforce. Register today! \n\n\n\n\nRegister
