Certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt One-on-One

Applicable across all industries, this course enhances candidates’ problem-solving abilities and engages them in Lean Six Sigma’s industry-tested system for process variation reduction. Each session teaches the candidate how to apply the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) methodology within their specific project environment, setting a goal of financial benefit and organizational improvement. Examples throughout the course focus on finance, government, health care, and the manufacturing sector.

Through the DMAIC model, candidates receive a comprehensive framework for project management, which places strategic emphasis on team building and root cause analysis. Additionally, candidates learn how to use process mapping, perform data collection, and apply basic statistics and graphical analysis.

Certification requires passing a final exam and completing a successful individual process improvement project at the candidate’s place of work or a qualified host company/organization (candidate must secure arrangements). Successful projects require access to relevant personnel and data. A final report is submitted for instructor approval, outlining performance goals and fully describing steps taken toward improvement. Project outcomes – such as process improvement and financial impact – are documented through the identification of before-and-after performance metrics.

All projects submissions and resubmissions must be received for final review within 12 months of onboarding. After 12 months an administrative fee will be assessed for any project submission.

Hours: 37 hours of online education and personal mentoring/coaching hours from a Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt; mentoring is conducted via telephone, video conferencing or at TCIE
