Course Details
Course Code: Lean Six Sigma Green Belt; Duration: 5 Days; Instructor-led
GREEN BELT certification represents the thorough study and proper application of Lean Six Sigma and process improvement techniques. This course is intended to enable participants to accomplish the vital role of a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and to integrate the Lean Six Sigma thinking into their leadership skills. This can result in advancement at work and upsurge rewards to take on additional responsibility to flourish any organization. Lean Six Sigma Green Belts are specialists in executing Lean Six Sigma projects. With the right combination of expertise, statistical analysis and structured Lean Six Sigma methodology, the Green Belt can achieve significant improvements in performance and quality.
Audience
This course is designed for employees who spend some of their time on process improvement teams. They analyze and solve quality problems, and are involved with Six Sigma, lean, or other quality improvement projects. Other professional members who are involved in research, innovations or consulting in process improvement practices. They will usually support Black Belts with data collection and project application.
Prerequisites
No pre-requisite for this course
Methodology
Trainers lecture interactively whilst encouraging participation, guide individuals through group and individual activities, also leading informative simulations that increases recollection of the course content and make learning an exciting journey. Trainers also mould their teaching and examples to their partakers. Trainers take into consideration of different learning styles to ensure participants can understand and absorb what they are required to know. Then they demonstrate techniques by presenting how these techniques apply directly to specific data, problems and challenges faced by participants in their organizations.
