6 SIGMA GREEN BELT CERTIFICATION AT CHART INDUSTRIES
Success Story
“In 2023 Chart Industries-New Prague brought on Manufacturers Alliance Online Six Sigma Green Belt program. The program was tailored to fit Chart-NP adding some of the specific needs, mainly around leadership development and problem solving, nothing had been done like this before at Chart. Our goal was to promote active problem solving around a structured process to really identify gaps in our processes utilizing data rather than the “perceived” beliefs of an issue. The online courses were value-add as it allowed me to focus on being a mentor/coach internally. Some examples of projects are:
∙ Weld defect reduction
∙ NCR process
∙ Andon system
∙ MIP 10 failures
∙ Mass Spec FPY
∙ Consumables
All have produced great results…for instance, in weld defect reduction we removed most of the variance in the processes around Sub-arcing seams and fit-up and deployed good controls. This has netted us in 2023 just in our LPV unit a savings of $177,000K and thus far in 2024 a savings of $450,000K (can call it cost avoidance because not producing the defects and rework associated with them). In our Mass Spec FPY in our Shared Services unit we moved from 78% in 2023 to 98% in 2024.”

First, we were able to make it fit the schedules for our plants – no first week of the month, no last week of the month, no Mondays, no Fridays which empowered every developing leader to attend the sessions. Second, we were able to adapt the curriculum around some of our key gaps that we knew needed to be addressed. And last – the instructor was AMAZING.
