  • Waste, Voices and CTQs31:04

    Master lean six sigma concepts by identifying eight areas of waste using downtime or Tim Woods, considering voices, and identifying CTQs for quality and satisfaction.

  • Waste, Voices and CTQs Part 230:33

    Explore CTQs, voices, and CTQ trees to translate customer and employee needs into quality requirements; apply the four voices—VOC, VOE, VOP, VOB—and Tim Woods to identify improvements.

  • Suppliers Inputs Process Outputs Customers29:38

    Explore SIPOC—suppliers, inputs, process, outputs, and customers—and how structured brainstorming maps who touches a process and what is required. Tie CTQs, voices, and stakeholders to practical improvement and problem solving.

  • Important Graphs and Charts35:00

  • DMAIC Model - Define Phase35:57

    Define the dmaic model's define phase by creating a project charter, identifying ctqs, mapping current processes, and using tim woods to locate waste while aligning with business objectives.

  • DMAIC Model - Define Phase Part 227:33

    Explore the define phase of dmaic with the y=f(x) framework, common and special variation, sipoc and process map analysis, cross-functional team roles, and intro to qfd and kano ctq tools.

  • DMAIC Model - Measure Phase25:34

    Define the current state, identify what to measure, and use CTQs, measurement systems analysis, and a balanced scorecard to create a believable before picture for DMAIC.

  • DMAIC Model - Analyze Phase31:00

    Analyze phase guides you from measure to three to five potential solutions using root cause analysis, correlation, and variation insights, leveraging the seven tools of quality and voices.

  • DMAIC Model - Improve Phase44:29

    Explore the improve phase of DMAIC, listing three to five solutions, evaluating consequences and uncertainties, and piloting the chosen option to build a definitive project plan.

  • DMAIC Model - Control Phase29:27

    Explain the DMAIC control phase: show impact, sustain improvements with SOPs and a control plan, and use visual controls and FMEA to close out and maintain gains.

  • DMAIC Model - Review11:32

    Explore the DMAIC model in Lean Six Sigma—define, measure, analyze, improve, and control—and learn to use as-is pictures, project charters, and sustainability plans for Green Belt prep.

Requirements

  • There are no formal prerequisites for the Six Sigma Green Belt certification course. However, it is recommended that learners have a basic understanding of statistics, as statistics play a crucial role in the Six Sigma methodology.

Description

The Lean Six Sigma Green Belt course is designed to provide professionals with the knowledge and tools needed to improve business processes, reduce inefficiencies, and enhance overall quality within their organizations. This course delves into the core principles of Lean Six Sigma, focusing on the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) methodology to guide continuous improvement efforts. Participants will learn how to identify and eliminate waste, understand customer requirements, and drive measurable improvements in key processes.

The course begins with foundational concepts such as process improvement basics, Lean Six Sigma metrics, and core terminology, before diving into more advanced topics, including the Seven Tools of Quality, which help in identifying root causes of problems and opportunities for improvement. Participants will gain expertise in mapping processes, analyzing data, and applying statistical tools to measure performance. Emphasis is placed on understanding the importance of voice of the customer (VOC) and critical to quality (CTQ) factors, which are key to ensuring improvements align with organizational goals and customer needs.

Additionally, learners will explore practical applications of the DMAIC model, working through each phase—from defining the problem to implementing solutions and controlling the outcomes. The course also covers essential graphs, charts, and techniques for tracking progress and ensuring sustained improvements.

By the end of the course, participants will be equipped with the tools and methodologies to lead process improvement initiatives, drive operational excellence, and achieve measurable results in various industries.

This course is ideal for professionals seeking to lead process improvement projects, enhance quality, and contribute to organizational growth.

Who this course is for:

  • Quality assurance professionals
  • Process improvement professionals
