 Course Objectives

Green Belts are practitioners that spend approximately 5-20% of their working hours in support of Black Belt projects or Six Sigma projects of their own. As a Six Sigma Green Belt, you will need to learn when to use many of the proven Six Sigma problem-solving methods and statistical tools to contribute to the success of your organization. This Lean Six Sigma Week 1 Green Belt course follows the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) model and teaches the skills required to participate in projects effectively. A simulation, “Boards-R-Us”, is used to demonstrate the DMAIC process.

The Week 1 Green Belt training does not address the area of statistics in depth.
