This course will teach and prepare individuals to implement the principles, practices, and techniques of Lean Six Sigma. Green belts traditionally lead process stakeholders and may also be assigned specific process level improvement projects to conduct on their own projects that normally do not require the statistical rigor demonstrated by a black belt.

By the end of this course delegates will be able to:

• Develop statistical hypotheses using simple statistical tools
• Use quantifiable tools to solve problems related to an improvement project
• Develop the Six Sigma methodology and apply its roadmap
• Apply the principles of the Six Sigma 'DMAIC' performance improvement model
• Examine in detail the various elements of building a complete project for improvement
• Eliminate waste and defects by applying Lean and Six Sigma
• Collect, analyze, and quantify data that enable process improvements
• Employ statistical analysis using statistical tools and software
