This program is designed to prepare individuals to support process improvement efforts in a transactional /service environment. Typically, Green Belts serve as team members under the direction of a Black Belt or on projects that are subsets of larger projects. Green Belt projects are generally more focused on local improvements versus enterprise-wide changes. Key Green Belt responsibilities include:

Lean 6 Sigma Black Belts are the centerpiece of the program integrating the strategies of Lean and 6 Sigma. Lean 6 Sigma Black Belts are improvement experts that are deployed to conduct the project work that delivers to your overall goals and objectives. Throughout development, participants internalize the methods and tools of Lean and 6 Sigma. Participants apply the new knowledge from each session immediately between the training sessions. It is this mechanism that ensures progress is being made quickly, and that the learning of Lean Six Sigma Black Belt methods and tools takes place with real world goals in mind.

Lean 6 Sigma Black Belt Training program builds competent, data-driven Lean 6 Sigma practitioners.  The curriculum follows the DMAIC phases, teaching candidates how to integrate a variety of Lean Six Sigma tools into an overall approach to process improvement. Participants are taught how to define and successfully launch a project, how to transition it from phase to phase, and finally, how to complete a project and evaluate its success.
 
There will be a hands-on, real-life approach to Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training. Candidates work on an actual business project and apply classroom techniques to the project. The Black Belt program is technically challenging to ensure that all graduates learn how to implement solutions that can produce financial results. Instructors provide formal project specific feedback to participants in each phase. Students are also encouraged to schedule one-on-one mentoring sessions with their instructors to discuss project specific hurdles.

6 Sigma Master Black Belt (MBB) training focuses on three key areas that will be used almost daily by Six Sigma Master Black Belts: Leadership, Technical Skills, and Training Capability.
This program is an intense but exciting treatment of some of the most advanced Six Sigma tools and concepts currently known. It will provide the Master Black Belt candidates with an arsenal of knowledge and power to move their organizations toward greater savings and profitability. 

This program will blend theory with some very easy-to-use software that will make the applications of the concepts straightforward.   These concepts and applications will be demonstrated via case studies, simulations, and exercises.  Topics include advanced DOE methodology, historical and transactional data applications, and multiple response optimization.

Upon completion 6 Sigma Master Black Belts will be ready to assume leadership roles within their company in many key areas.

This workshop is designed for senior staff as a major stepping stone on a journey to creating a Lean Enterprise in their own organization. In order to develop a truly Lean Enterprise it is necessary for leaders to understand what lean thinking is, how it needs to be approached, what their role is in leading the organization and how they need to instill a set of, often, new behaviors and levels of engagement. A significant step on this journey is participating in the ‘Lean for Management‘workshop. Participants will learn the following:

Using the ‘QS Finance Model’ the workshop will provide you with insights into what a true Lean Enterprise is, the different elements that must be addressed, where you are on your lean journey and perhaps most importantly provide a framework for you to consider how you might go about creating a Lean Enterprise in your organization. It ensures that the initiative begins with a broad, cohesive approach to lean transformation, and is led by a knowledgeable, unified management team.
