Six Sigma Green Belts are individuals who have the recognised skills and knowledge to engage in DMAIC improvement projects, applying various statistical analysis tools to reduce process variation and defects. ‘Green Belts’ apply their techniques across many industry sectors, including but not limited to those in the motor industry, pharmaceuticals, financial operations, construction and professional services.
This 5 day Lean Six Sigma Green Belt (Essentials) Training Course is designed for all industry sectors and covers the core competency requirements for ISO 18404 (the international standard for Lean & Six Sigma), equipping delegates with the necessary knowledge to engage and participate in Six Sigma process improvement projects.
In the initial stages of the course, delegates will learn a variety of Lean methods including Value Stream Mapping and 5S. The course then progresses on to the fundamentals of Six Sigma, covering the competencies of a Yellow Belt, the DMAIC methodology, Data Capture, Value Stream Analysis and statistical thinking, and then finally on to Lean Six Sigma application.
Delegates will have the opportunity to develop their skills through practical workshops and exercises.
Those who successfully complete this training course will be awarded a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt (Essentials) certificate acknowledging their ability to conduct Six Sigma improvement projects.
