Lean Sigma Black Belt Workshop Details

Description
This unique training program provides the skill sets you will need to combine Lean concepts and Six Sigma into a coordinated Continual Improvement Quality effort. This course integrates Six Sigma tools and methods with the Lean tools. Project assignments between sessions require you to apply what you learn. During this program, you will be required to identify, define, and formally present one Black Belt project. Upon successful mastery of the Black Belt course material the student will earn a certificate of successful completion of the Black Belt course. The Black Belt project should be completed within one year. Duration - 4 weeks.

Goal
You will learn the advanced problem-solving skills including:
You will learn how to use these tools to measure a process, validate the measurement system, analyze the results, develop process improvements, and quantify the resulting savings. In addition, you will see how the practical tools and methods of Lean, including kanban, kaizen, 5S, Poka yoke, and value stream mapping can be incorporated into your Six Sigma efforts.
