New: Champion Training & Certification for Lean Six Sigma Leaders
A Lean Six Sigma leader fosters a thriving culture of Continuous Improvement. This requires more than lean tools. Key leadership and management frameworks, principles and behaviors are also needed. The Lean Six Sigma Leader program provides any leader driving continuous improvement with the tools to become a mentor, a roadmap to drive transformation, and knowledge to align projects with the organization’s overall mission and objectives.
What Is Lean Six Sigma?
Lean Six Sigma (LSS) provides a systematic method to improve performance and reduce variation in business operations to achieve productivity and profitability gains. Students earn various colors of Belts which indicate their levels of mastery of Lean Six Sigma expertise. A person who has earned the designation of Lean Six Sigma Green Belt often plays a key role in the success of an organization’s process improvement initiatives.
As a member or leader of a high-performing Lean Six Sigma project team, the Green Belt is involved in:
- selecting or defining projects
- setting project objectives
- data gathering
- statistical analysis
- change implementation
To function effectively, Green Belts need to understand and apply the basic Lean Six Sigma concepts, tools and methodologies in a variety of situations. This course is designed to educate those who wish to attain the level of Green Belt.
