Lean Six Sigma - IASSC®
Certified green Belt™
ICBB™
Overview
The IASSC Certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt (ICGB™) is a professional who is well versed in the core to advanced elements of Lean Six Sigma Methodology, who leads improvement projects and / or serves as a team member as a part of more complex improvement projects. A Lean Six Sigma Green Belt possesses a thorough understanding of all aspects of the Lean Six Sigma Method including competence in subject matters contained within the phases of Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve and Control (DMAIC) as defined by the IASSC Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Body of Knowledge™. This course will help participants understands how to implement, perform, interpret and apply Lean Six Sigma at a high level of proficiency.
Course Objective
Upon successful completion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Deeper understanding of Lean and Six Sigma methodologies
- Able to apply Six Sigma principles to everyday work scenarios
- Perform data analysis and assess measurement system capabilities
- Implementing and improving standards
- Identify potential improvement opportunities
- Develop ability to identify worthy problems to tackle, as well as how to recognize ‘just do it’ situations
Who Should Attend
- Quality System Managers, Supervisors, Operations Managers, Finance and Commercial Managers
- Professionals who want to apply the methodologies and quality control process within an organization
- Anyone who wishes to expand their knowledge and grow with Six Sigma
