Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification Training

They are competent in the use of Six Sigma tools and techniques and standard principles of Lean. A Lean Six Sigma Black Belt has a thorough grounding in all aspects within the phases of D-M-A-I-C (Define, Measure, Analyze, Measure, Control), and can identify non-value-added elements and activities. Six Sigma certified professionals work on continual quality improvement by analyzing and solving quality problems, and creating a high performance organization. The Six Sigma Black Belt is the fifth level of certification, after the Green Belt. Certified Black Belts should be able to assume team leadership with confidence, and allocate responsibilities and team member roles. This course will give you a thorough and detailed understanding of Six Sigma and its focus on eliminating defects through process improvement and variation reduction. The intensive course is designed to help you navigate the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification Exam syllabus, and aim for a first time pass of the Black Belt exam.
