Introduction3:31
Begin your Lean Six Sigma Green Belt journey with Erik Christensen as you prepare for the AALSSC Green Belt test using the free study guide as a practical reference library.
Background7:58
Lean Six Sigma merges lean and six sigma to reduce waste and variation, enabling process improvement, problem solving, and effective facilitation to raise quality and value for customers.
The Green Belt's impact7:45
Learn how Lean Six Sigma green belts reduce cost of poor quality, unlock opportunity through the Kano model, boost employee morale, and enhance workplace safety for measurable organizational impact.
Background

Six Sigma Overview7:05
Learn how Six Sigma reduces variation using the transfer function and DMAIC, from Motorola’s origins to achieving about 3.4 defects per million opportunities.
Lean Overview4:19
Explore the lean background and its Toyota production system origins, including go see, ask why, show respect, and kaizen, with continuous improvement to identify and eliminate waste.
TIM WOOD (U)7:14
Identify and eliminate waste by confronting TIM WOOD (U) wastes—transportation, inventory, motion, waiting, overproduction, over processing, defects, and underutilization—through a lean green belt approach.
Principles of Lean6:50
Explore the five lean principles—specify value from the customer perspective, map the value stream, enable flow, implement pull, and seek perfection through continuous improvement.
Seeing the process9:21
See and analyze the process to identify tim wood waste, using process walks, gemba observations, and value stream maps to reduce motion and improve speed, cost, safety, and quality.
Timing the value stream and action planning7:30
Measure cycle time, lead time, touch time, and takt time to map the value stream, identify bottlenecks, and drive Kaizen events with action plan to reduce work in progress (WIP).
Lean Six Sigma

Team facilitation7:00
Lead with lean six sigma green belt team facilitation to enable collaboration, secure buy-in, and drive high quality decisions that improve change management using the QxA=I impact formula.
Facilitation - facilitator tools8:54
Team Facilitation - Stages of team development6:46
Guide cross-functional teams through the five stages of development—forming, storming, norming, performing, and adjourning—by shifting from directive facilitation to delegation while focusing on objectives.
Facilitation - Decision Making8:57
Explore how a facilitator channels idea generation into a consensus decision by organizing ideas with affinity diagrams and applying multi-voting, straw polls, and consensus voting.
Facilitation - team members and events7:10
Clarify roles such as champion, process owner, team leader, facilitator, and team members, and select a Lean Six Sigma event—from value stream mapping to Kaizen Blitz—based on purpose and scope.
Team facilitation

Problem solving9:01
Change management and stakeholders7:29
Replacement video for lecture 16.
Problem Solving - SWOT and SMART6:42
Apply SWOT analysis to evaluate internal strengths and weaknesses and external opportunities and threats; use SMART goals to define specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and time-bound objectives for problem solving.
Root cause analysis tools9:00
Identify root causes and prevent recurrence by applying tools like fishbone diagrams, run charts, Pareto charts, five whys, and FMEA within the lean six sigma green belt framework.
Problem solving

Description

This specific Lean Six Sigma Green Belt course is taught by Las Vegas Lean Six Sigma's owner and follows the American Association for Lean Six Sigma Certification (AALSSC) Green Belt study guide for course flow.

Students will learn and practice the three core skills expected of a Green Belt - problem solving, process improvement and team facilitation. Upon completing this course students will be able to effectively implement solutions that lower costs, increase the speed of organizational processes, improve quality of products or services and improve safety of operations.

Make no mistake about it, this is a training course designed to develop your problem solving, process improvement and change management abilities by having you learn and practice the proven tools and methods of Lean Six Sigma. The ability of a Green Belt to improve their organization is the real value of certification and the primary focus of this course. This is NOT just theory and lecture.

Note: This course does not teach many of the statistical analysis tools common with other Six Sigma courses, rather the primary focus is the value-adding benefits of Lean and necessary soft skills necessary for change management. The course is roughly 80% Lean and 20% Six Sigma, which is the opposite of most other courses. Most company/organizational leaders desire Green Belts to be able to include the workforce into the improvement strategies, which is seen as vital to sustainable improvements.

Who this course is for:

Working professionals looking for career advancement or new position
Quality professionals looking for increased skill set
Adults who want additional skills and stronger resume
Project managers
