Lean Certification Program Blended Learning Program Cost: $5500 Course Description Lean Certification Program is a disciplined process improvement approach focused on reducing waste, increasing customer satisfaction, and reducing variability for improved profits among many other benefits. Lean Certification Program act as both statistical consultants and team leaders for the project. They work with a Champion to select the right project and they are accountable for the results. Their responsibilities include deploying effective control plans to ensure gains are sustained, and communicating results to leverage gains within and among organizations. They also help train other employees. The Lean Certification Program prepares you to receive your LSS Green/Black Belt Certification, become expert Lean Six Sigma practitioners, equips you to lead complex projects by blending the tools of Lean with the rigorous DMAIC problem-solving methodology and advanced statistical toolset. Blended Learning FLEXIBLE: Class sessions can be 100% online or augmented with live classroom instruction. FAST: Self-paced online learning and up to 50% less class time. EFFECTIVE: Interactive modules and project simulations accelerate and cement learning. ON-THE-JOB SUPPORT: Modules provide a quickaccess job aid, as needed, when project challenges arise. Certification At the Black Belt level, certification recognizes understanding and ability to apply Lean Six Sigma knowledge. Certification is earned from TQG Master Champions, Academic Partners, or Distribution Partners. Requirements A grade of 80% on e-learning modules A passing grade of 80% on a final exam Active participation in all class sessions Successful completion of Complete a project and successfully present the project to the Instructor and Master Black Belt.

Welcome to the Lean Hybrid Certification class offered by San Jacinto College Business & Professions department. We will begin with a 3-hr Pre-class on Monday, September 29, 2014 at 6:30p.m. The pre-class will layout the class structure, expectations and the requirements of you before, during and after the class. It will also cover some six sigma basics. You will be getting your first assignment. The pre-class will cover: 1. Introduction to the course. A very basic overview of Lean Certification Program. 2.Access and use of the SJC E-learning portal. This course is a blended course meaning that it also includes a requirement to complete some e-learning modules that will cover various aspects of Six Sigma and introductory statistics. You enrolled in the on-line courses when you enrolled in the curriculum through San Jacinto College. The on-line courses need to be completed before each class session as described in the course agenda below. The on-line courses will take 40 hours for the Lean Certification Program to complete. You will take a portion of the courses prior to week 1 and a portion prior to week 2 & 3 for the Lean Certification Program. You may take them at your convenience. 3.Project identification and definition. In order to demonstrate mastery of the Lean Certification Program body of knowledge, we require the completion of an improvement project. You will complete your project by successful completion of Capstone Team Project. 4.Laptop computer It is not necessary for you to bring your own laptop computer with Microsoft Excel. You will be provided computers in classroom Minitab that provides six sigma and statistical tools. 5.Class Materials You will be provided the class presentation materials in 3-ring binder. Other materials and files will be available through the e-learning Portal.
