Lean Sigma Green Belt:

The Lean σ Green Belt involves two weeks of additional training beyond the Lean σ White Belt, plus completing a major Lean σ Kaizen and a Lean σ Training Event. Green Belts are expected to be devoting up to ½ of their time to Lean σ Projects, plus maintaining their current organizational position. He/she is typically working on 4-6 lean σ projects every year and delivering results at 4X his/her salary.

Lean σ Green Belt topics include:

The DMAIC Process

7 Basic Quality Tools +

Design of Experiments (basic)

ANOVA

Experience with MiniTab or other statistical software

FMEA (Failure Modes Effects Analysis)

CS & FS Value Stream Mapping

ZDQ (Mistake Proof and Fail Safe)

The typical workshop format is 5 full days (same week) of initial training where the concentration is on the DEFINE and MEASURE phases of DMAIC.  During this first week, a Catapult Simulation is used to organize the classroom project and collect initial data.  Statistical software is used by each participant to collect and post this data.

Following this first week, with a spread of 4-6 weeks in between, is the second full week of LSGB training.  During this week the concentration is on the ANALYZE, IMPROVE, and CONTROL phases of DMAIC.  The Catapult Simulation data is used by the participants, working in small teams, to thoroughly work through the rest of DMAIC and arrive at an improved process.

In addition, it is a MUST that each candidate complete a LSGB Training Assignment plus a LSGB Project to achieve his/her certification.  Successful completion results in the candidate receiving a formal martial arts Lean Sigma Green Belt plus a Certificate.

This workshop is facilitated by a Lean Sensei plus a Six Sigma Master Black Belt.  We can generally accommodate up to 20  participants in this LSGB Workshop Series.  It can be conducted either on-site or off-site.

JCM Work Designs/The Lean Sigma Team can design and conduct this workshop to meet your specific needs.  Please contact us for a formal proposal.
