1 Lean Six Sigma Black Belt The core role of the Black Belt is to lead significant LSS projects and their remit often includes coaching Green Belts and supporting Project Champions. This training programme has been configured to provide the expertise to achieve these objectives but additionally will equip delegates to become process experts and internal consultants. The modules are: 1. Green Belt (4 days open/6 days in-house) 2. Process Measurement and Control (3 days) 3. Data Analysis Techniques (3 days) 4. Managing Change (3 days) 5. Advanced Black Belt Tools (3 days) Optional, but highly recommended: Lean Six Sigma for Innovation and Design (3 days) The modules can be taken in rapid succession in one training wave or spread out over a longer time period. If you have already completed some of the modules, you can upgrade to Black Belt from your current position. Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Introduction: Key principles and foundations of Lean and Six Sigma Waste and Flow Variation and Sigma values Roles and Responsibilities The systematic approach (DMAIC) Project Selection Intro to Change Management The programme then follows the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, Control) phases, we cover 8 steps within this framework, covering relevant tools and techniques under each of these headings as follows: Define Phase: Step 1 - Select the Problem
