Lean Six Sigma Green Belt

Home / Courses And Programs / Lean Six Sigma Green Belt

Lean Six Sigma (LSS) provides a systematic method to improve performance efficiencies and to reduce variations in business operations to achieve productivity and profitability gains. Students earn various colors of Belts which indicate their levels of mastery of LSS 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 LSS project team, the Green Belt is involved in selecting or defining projects, setting project objectives, data gathering, statistical analysis, and change implementation. To function effectively, Green Belts need to understand and effectively apply the basic LSS 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.

NOTE Students have the option to take this course in the classroom or fully online. In both options students will participate in a project.

In the online environment, participants will focus their efforts on either a simulated or real-life project. See the individual section details regarding differences between course formats.
