Lean Six Sigma — Help your organization reach its overall objectives with Lean Six Sigma Methodology!
Lean Six Sigma (LSS) is ideal for companies that need to increase customer satisfaction and decrease operating costs. Six Sigma is a problem solving methodology that uses statistical tools and techniques to greatly reduce the frequency of defects and errors within products and services by identifying, analyzing and eliminating variation within production, business administration and customer services processes. The goal of Lean Six Sigma is to eliminate waste and streamline processes, leading to greater efficiencies and better customer satisfaction using the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) methodology.
Which Belt is Right for You?
The choice of belt level will depend on your current experience and wether you are looking for generalized knowledge of Lean Six Sigma, or more specialized knowledge to be an active part of a Lean Six Sigma team.
WHITE BELT - an ideal entry point for executives and managers whose role will be to champion and sponsor LSS projects or those who are only looking for general knowledge about the benefits of LSS methodologies. This training is intended to provide individuals with a basic understanding of the DMAIC and SIPOC (Supplier, Input, Process, Output, and Customer) methodologies. Cost: $485 (no exam $385) Format: Full Day |
|
YELLOW BELT - an ideal starting point for individuals who are looking to become an active member of an LSS team. This level focuses on how to use statistical analysis to help solve specific problems, interpret results and identify areas of improvement. Additionally they have the skills necessary to test hypotheses about how outcomes will change based on certain changes. Cost: $580 (no exam $385) Format: Full Day |
|
GREEN BELT - a higher-level knowledge of LSS methodologies. Building off the Yellow Belt skillset, Green Belts know how to design experiments that measure process variation over time across different groups. They know when it’s appropriate to use certain statistical analysis methods, such as ANOVA(Analysis of Variance) or regression modeling to draw meaningful conclusions from datasets they are analyzing. Green Belts can manage small-scale projects that support the large-scale projects of Black Belts. Cost: $2520 (no exam $2125) Format: Five Days |
|
BLACK BELT - for individuals who will lead and implement LSS projects. This level showcases expert-level knowledge of LSS techniques and how to apply them effectively. Black Belts know how to interpret complex datasets and draw actionable insights that can improve processes across multiple departments. Black Belts can mentor and lead lower level Green and Yellow Belts through daily work tasks. | |
MASTER BLACK BELT - the highest certification for those with a deep understanding of LSS principles and their application. | |
