Lean Six Sigma Green Belt

Lean Six Sigma Green Belt

Six Sigma is a data-driven, customer-focused, and results-oriented methodology which uses statistical tools and techniques to systematically eliminate defects and variances to improve consistency. Lean, on the other hand, is a series of management practices focused on removing waste and related inefficiencies. Most organizations seeking process improvement want both: reduced waste and inefficiency along with improved consistency and quality of outputs. Nearly all leading companies in the world are using Lean Six Sigma.

Six Sigma started its journey in the 1980s as a data driven method to reduce variation in manufacturing processes. Today, it is used as a business performance improvement methodology all over the world across a wide array of industries including manufacturing, construction, banking and finance, healthcare, education, government, and information technology. It is oneof the most widely applied methodologies for process improvement projects globally.

Our Lean Six Sigma Green Belt (LSSGB™) course focuses on providing students with an understanding of the various Six Sigma and Lean tools and techniques useful to improve processes and minimize defects with a focus on the practical implementation of these tool and techniques in an organization.

Upon passing the optional (2 hr) exam, you will be accredited as "Lean Six Sigma Green Belt.
 

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of this course participants will be able to:

  • Understand the core concepts of Lean (eliminate waste) and Six Sigma (eliminate variation)
  • Apply the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC) methodology for problem-solving and process improvement
  • Collect, analyze, and interpret data to identify root causes of problems
  • Identify different types of waste and apply Lean principles to eliminate them
  • Apply tools and techniques to identify and implement process improvements
  • Understand and implement meaningful metrics to track progress and measure performance

 

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

This course is highly recommended for employees and organizations requiring a standardized approach to problem solving for the purpose of continuous improvement and quality management.
 

PREREQUISITE

We recommend that participants have previously completed a Six Sigma Yellow Belt (SSYB™) course but this is not mandatory. Procept can provide access to a FREE Six Sigma Yellow Belt self-directed learning course to introduce basic concepts.
