Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt - IASSC BOK

Demonstrate your mastery of Six Sigma principles, philosophies, and related tools by becoming a Certified Six Sigma Black Belt. Team - based exercises, along with stimulating lectures allow participants to gain invaluable experience applying the tools and methodologies demanded by the market place.

Participants will have a thorough understanding of all aspects of define, measure, analyze, improve and control (DMAIC) model in accordance with Six Sigma principles. They have basic knowledge of lean enterprise concepts, are able to identify non-value-added elements and activities and are able to use specific tools.

Learning Outcome

• Understand how to deploy six sigma within a project
• Apply six sigma tools and techniques, DMAIC Methodology & its impact on the organizational improvement.
• Understand organizational process flow metrics and measurement system analysis
• Team management; planting & decision making
• Learn Visually Displaying Data & Process Mapping of Critical Areas
• Understand Hypothesis Testing and Design of Experiments
• Learn Process simulation, Poka Yoke and statistical software training

The Black Belt training level provides the tools, methodologies and experience needed to earn a certificate in Six Sigma Lean. Team – based exercises, along with stimulating lectures allow participants to gain invaluable experience applying the tools and methodologies demanded by the market place. Education is a key component of your Six Sigma initiative. Below is a recommendation of what should be included in your training, whether conducted in-house or by a third-party consultant.
