Earn a Black Belt Certificate in Lean Six Sigma

High-performing and skilled employees who earn a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt are often hand-picked to lead complex, cross-discipline and cross-departmental improvement projects – this can result in significant financial benefit to both the company as well as your salary potential. Students will practice the primary data analysis techniques required of Black Belts aligned with and in support of the DMAIC methodology. Students will also learn non-statistical change management concepts and basic financial metrics required in successful end-to-end Black Belt improvement projects.

LEARNER OUTCOMES

After successfully completing this program, students will be able to:

  • Manage a portfolio of Lean Six Sigma projects consistent with organizational needs
  • Execute a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt project through all five DMAIC phases
  • Apply appropriate mentoring and coaching methods to assist Lean Six Sigma Green Belts in their projects
  • Assess appropriate advanced Lean Six Sigma tools during the execution of a Black Belt project
  • Employ software programs (Minitab and/or MS Excel) to analyze data to verify and validate root cause and associated solutions
  • Demonstrate the knowledge required to pass the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification examination
