Preparation for ASQ Six Sigma Green Belt Certification

The Six Sigma methodology is a systematic application focused on achieving significant financial results and increasing customer satisfaction. When properly deployed on carefully selected business projects, this methodology can substantially reduce and, in many cases, eliminate defects, process waste, and out-of-control processes, translating into dramatic business gains. This training course will prepare participants to implement Lean Six Sigma's principles, practices, and techniques. It teaches participants the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC) methodology using case studies from various industries. Participants will learn to define improvement projects to satisfy customers and reduce variation. Green belts traditionally lead process stakeholders and may be assigned specific process-level improvement projects that generally do not require the statistical rigor a black belt demonstrates. This course is intense and challenging, yet satisfying in terms of the knowledge gained in 5 days. PrerequisitesNone — open to managers at all levels

Course Methodology

This course is consultant-led and classroom-based. The instruction is a blend of lectures, applications, individual exercises, and group work. Laptops will be extensively used during the course to practice Minitab. Various activities and an entire case study will be used to direct and illustrate the implementation of a project. Games and discussions will also be used to enrich course delivery.

This interactive and fully narrated course follows the Certified Six Sigma Green Belt (CSSGB) Body of Knowledge (BoK). Using real-world examples and over 100 activities, the course is designed to help you prepare for the ASQ CSSGB certification exam.

Course Objectives

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

Apply the principles of the Six Sigma 'DMAIC' performance improvement model
Examine in detail the various elements of building a complete project for improvement
Implement commonly used statistical analysis using statistical tools and software
Analyze types of waste and defects by applying Lean and Six Sigma
Review the content covered by the CSSGB BoK and within the ASQ CSSGB exam

Target Audience

Individuals from all departments, including finance, quality, business operations staff, and process owners. The course also suits those preparing for Green Belt certification, as it covers the Body of Knowledge required for ASQ Green Belt Certification (CSSGB).
