Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training gives you the skills you need to lead teams through breakthrough improvements and support strategic objectives in any function or department of any organization.
Unlike less rigorous courses, our Black Belt course prepares you to solve a wide variety of difficult problems across a wide spectrum of industries, including transactional, service, manufacturing and healthcare—drawing on both quantitative and qualitative methods from the complementary domains of Lean and Six Sigma.
Additionally, this course prepares Black Belts for their role as change agents in training and mentoring Green Belts and other resources, facilitating and leading projects, supporting broader performance excellence efforts and serving as internal consultants.
Another differentiating aspect of this course is the inclusion of creative-thinking modules that can be used within the structure of DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) to dislodge a team’s thinking when members are mired in their own assumptions and familiarity with their processes.
The duration of this course is spread out over a five-month time frame because the scope and depth of learning is extensive. Expert instructors lead lectures, group exercises, process and tool simulations, and individual exercises to transfer knowledge and challenge students to extract the most value from the experience. Participants also gain significant skills in graphical and statistical analysis using Minitab software.
Between classroom sessions, candidates work on their assignments and workplace improvement project. Each candidate has a designated Lean Methods Group Master Black Belt program manager who provides mentoring and support.
