Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Training and Certification
Problem-solving of activity flows and complex quality problems
Discover everything you need to successfully launch your Lean Six Sigma project
This 7-day Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training is an interactive workshop to discover how Lean management refers to process optimisation and waste elimination; and how Six Sigma is connected to quality management and client satisfaction. Our easy to understand, hands-on and fun learning methods will make it enjoyable to learn Lean Six Sigma.
This Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training provides you an effective course + exam to become a certified Green Belt.
Training objectives:
- Learn how to improve business flow in Kaizen Event mode
- Learn to eliminate waste, streamline operations and prevent malfunctions
- Learn how to improve a process for the benefit of all stakeholders (customer, worker, owner)
- Understand the philosophy, principles and tools of Lean Management
- Learn how to deploy a Lean Six Sigma program
- Learn how to identify and define the problem to be solved and the improvement objective of the project
- Learn how to scientifically and sustainably solve simple quality (statistical) problems
- Learn how to scientifically and sustainably solve complex statistical problems, including reducing the variability in the quality characteristics of products and services
- Learn to statistically control manufacturing and service processes and drive continuous quality improvement
- Learn how to achieve a first level of operational performance (sigma <4)
After this 7 day program you will pass the certification exam

Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Training Program
This training is divided into two themes. The Lean management part (2 days) that refers to value creation in flows and on eliminating non-value-added activities in workflows and production. The Six Sigma part (5 days) is a set of techniques and tools used for quality and performance management problem solving.
| Days | Modules | Skills developed |
| 5-7 | Six Sigma Green Belt | Solving complex quality problems – Basic level |
| 3-4 | Six Sigma Yellow Belt | Solving simple statistical quality problems Lean Six Sigma deployment |
