Course Overview
Lean Six Sigma is a structured, data-driven approach for improving quality, efficiency, and performance across processes. A Certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt (CLSSGB)® is trained in applying Lean and Six Sigma methodologies, tools, and techniques to support or lead improvement projects, typically as part of a larger transformation initiative led by Black Belts or Champions.
Green Belts play a vital role in bridging Six Sigma theory with real-world application. They are skilled team players who analyze processes, apply DMAIC methodology, and help organizations achieve measurable improvements in quality, cost reduction, and customer satisfaction.
This program introduces participants to Lean Six Sigma philosophy, terminology, and practical tools, enabling them to successfully prepare for the CLSSGB certification exam while developing essential problem-solving and process improvement skills.
