Certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt One-on-One

This course enhances candidates’ problem-solving abilities and engages them in Lean Six Sigma’s industry-tested system for process variation reduction, which is applicable across all industries. Each session teaches the candidate how to apply the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) methodology within their specific project environment, setting a goal of financial benefit and organizational improvement. Examples throughout the course focus on finance, government, health care, and the manufacturing sector.

Topics include:

• DMAIC framework
• Data collection and basic Measurement System Analysis (MSA)
• Root Cause Analysis
• Statistical analysis and hypothesis testing
• Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA)
• Statistical Process Control (SPC) planning and sustainability of results

The course features online lectures, conversations, and perspectives from industry professionals about Lean Six Sigma in addition to a physical coursebook for you to keep.  Thought-provoking questions at the end of each section allow you to reflect and assess your knowledge gained through the course.  In addition, there are one-on-one mentoring sessions to help guide in applying the methodology and tools to a problem in your organization.

Certification requires passing a final exam and completing a successful project at the candidate’s place of work. Successful projects require access to relevant resources and data.
