Six Sigma Lean

The Six Sigma Lean Green Belt training takes organizations to the next level of improvement, one that for the first time unites product and process excellence with goals such as improving customer service and/or enhancing shareholder value creation. Leaders in today's organizations are turning to the Six Sigma Lean Green Belt training as a way to ensure the competitive edge, improve service and build in the background and the skill base needed to initiate and sustain performance improvement. Building on learning objectives, the topics in this program prepare students to be Green Belts and lead or contribute to improvement efforts in services and manufacturing. Green Belts play a vital role within a Six Sigma Lean initiative as they build on the Black Belts' efforts in data collection, analysis, process mapping and lean implementation. Six Sigma Lean Green Belt training focuses on problem solving and performance improvement of a well-defined project led by a Black Belt. A Green Belt is a member of a Six Sigma Lean improvement team who has a working knowledge of Six-Sigma and Lean. Typically Green Belts are assigned to Six Sigma Lean projects within their area of responsibility. Topic areas include: definition and analysis of problems; root cause determination; and solutions generation and selection; using process variability and waste elimination tools. Participants build skills that are needed to create new levels of process performance, speed and quality. Meetings some Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays all day, participants proceed together through the modules applying key concepts and discussing key issues related to the Six Sigma Lean process.

This new program focuses on the principles of Project Management of Lean and Six-Sigma projects and how to integrate the tools and techniques into an actual project. Project Management is an effective method to produce agreed-upon deliverables within the constraints of schedule, cost and quality. Six-Sigma and Lean are Process Improvement philosophies and methodologies. When combined, the three methodologies can produce startling results to improve processes. Structured as a series of hands-on workshops, this integrated multi - certificate program builds upon the competencies acquired during the Six Sigma Lean Green Belt program. Each certificate level builds upon the work done in previous certificate levels. This allows the participant to obtain one level of certification and then return for higher levels of certification as needed. The black belt level provides the tools, methodologies and experience needed to become six sigma and lean certified. The topics covered will involve the use of brief lectures, team-based exercises and videos. Team-based exercises are used because they allow participants to acquire experience applying the tools and methodologies demanded by the market place.
