Who should seat for LSSGB ?
You are ambitious, and you place high demands on quality. You want to get started with process improvement in addition to your current tasks.
A Lean Six Sigma course offers career opportunities because, as a Green Belt, you work on reducing operational costs and increasing customer satisfaction. A successful professional in doing so is of significant added value to an organization.
What will I be able to do after this course?
A Green Belt is capable of:
​
• understanding the Lean Six Sigma philosophy and translating it to their own working environment
• optimizing processes using the DMAIC structure
• identifying customer requirements
• recognizing improvement potential and selecting projects
• analyzing problems
• discovering root causes and reaching an optimal solution
Upon completing the exam, you will receive the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt theoreticalacademicapplicable certificate. After completing the practical assignment, you will receive the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt applicable certificate evidencing both theoretical knowledge and practical experience on a Green Belt level.
What will I be able to do after this course?
The Green Belt course can be taken without specific entry requirements or prior knowledge of Lean Six Sigma.
However, a four-year university degree program is a must.
Course design
The course consists of six theoretical classroom days with didactic methods such as simulations, exercises, and discussions. Please find the program on the next page. In addition to the academic days, the course comprises some independent study to prepare for the modules.
After the theoretical classroom days, you can carry out a practical assignment (project) under your Master Black Belt (instructor) guidance as a coach. The suitable selection usually takes 3 to 5 months to complete. Please refer to chapter 15 for more information on the practical assignment.
