Course description
Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification Program - Become Green Belt Certified: On-Demand
This course explores the DMAIC process in depth and enables you to achieve IIL's Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification.
DMAIC is the foundation of Lean Six Sigma and process improvement. The incremental steps of "Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control" give structure and guidance to improving quality, performance, and productivity.
Green Belt is not just a role, it is also a competency required for leadership positions at many top companies. This learning series is designed to enable participants to fulfill the important role of a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and to incorporate the Lean Six Sigma mindset into their leadership skills. With a real-world project focus, the series will teach the fundamental methodology, tools, and techniques of the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control Process Improvement Methodology.
