Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Training and Certification

LSS Green Belt Training and Certification is a practical and systematic approach to continuous improvement. This methodology is based on the concept that by reducing waste, improving quality, and increasing customer satisfaction, an organization can achieve sustainable competitive advantage.

Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Courses Overview

Lean Six Sigma combines the speed and agility of Lean with the statistical predictability of Six Sigma to create solutions for better business practices and dramatic bottom line results.

Over 35 tools are taught to allow students to gain process knowledge to make their processes Better, Faster, Lower Cost, and Safer. They will deploy these tools through a project using the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC) roadmap. 

The Six Sigma tools strive to reduce process variance, measure the process, and find optimal settings in a pursuit of perfection.

Pre-Requisites and Requirements

No pre-requisite is required to take this course.

Green Belt Training Course Options

The Green Belt Course offers two different tracks: the Six Sigma Track and the Lean Six Sigma Track.

Six Sigma Green Belt (SSGB) Track:  for those who have already taken a separate course on Lean and only want to focus on Six Sigma tools and methodology.

Lean Six Sigma Green Belt (LSSGB) Track:  for those who want to learn both Lean and Six Sigma tools and methodology.

Both tracks offer the same level of training and certification, but the Lean Six Sigma Track provides a more well-rounded education in both Lean and Six Sigma. Our course tracks follow the ASQ Body of Knowledge for Green Belt.

Both the Six Sigma and Lean Six Sigma Tracks require participants to complete a project for certification. This project gives students the opportunity to apply what they have learned in class to a real-world problem. 

Upon completion of the project and passing the certification exam, participants will receive their corresponding Green Belt certification.
