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 a interactive workshop to discover how Lean management refers to process optimization 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 7-day Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training provides you an effective course + exam of what you, as effective team member or expert, are required to perform as 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 and act like a certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt member.

Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Training Program
This Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training is a structured and disciplined management method based on process improvement targeting quality. We will teach you a method that aims at reducing the risk of going outside of the client’s expectations by delivering perfect products and services on a consistent basis. It will focus on all types of processes owing to organization complexity and process internalization.
This training is divided into two parts. The lean management part (2 days) of the training refers to value preservation focusing on eliminating non-value added (waste) resources or activities. The Six Sigma part (5 days) is a set of techniques and tools used for process improvement.
| 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 |
| 1-2 | Lean Management | Problem-solving of activity flows |
Lean Thinking (Business Game)
Kicking our Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training off with a little story about Lean principles and TPS (Toyota Production System) shows you the Eastern way of thinking in improving processes. The two days are focused on a Lego Serious Play Production Plant Business Game helping you to understand Lean tools like the Value Stream Map. In this part you will understand value preservation focusing on eliminating non-value added resources or activities (waste) and a set of techniques and tools used for process improvement.
