New LEAN Six Sigma Black Belt
Designed for individuals who have completed the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt course, where participants learned how Lean Six Sigma methods and tools focused improvement efforts to drive significant improvements in speed, quality, profitability, productivity, defects, and variations. Lean Six Sigma projects follow a methodology which has been proven to work well in all business operations including operation, administrative and service. This Lean Six Sigma Black Belt course will bring all of this together to help you become a process facilitator, natural leader, and astute problem solver who are data-driven, bottom-line agents for achieving complex project breakthroughs and powering organizational changes.  The course will require pre-work to assist with a concurrent class project.  Students will be required to come to the course with a pre-selected project (demonstrated with a signed project charter) that can allow them to go through the DMAIC process and show improvement demonstrating understanding of the Six Sigma Black Belt Body of Knowledge (BOK). Training includes completing with a passing grade online instruction modules outside of class. You will be required to purchase a six month mini-tab software license at an additional cost of approximately $29.99 and load onto a laptop which is required for class exercises.
