Description

In this newly updated course,
"Certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt (2025)"
, you will learn the beginner through intermediate tools, concepts and strategies of the Lean Six Sigma methodology. These techniques and ideas are virtually universal, and can be applied at your organization and within your applications.
The tools of
Lean Manufacturing
show you how to reduce all forms of wastes, or "mudas" as they're called in the Toyota Production System, and to increase the flow through your system. The tools of
Six Sigma
show you how to reduce variation, the true enemy of quality. Together,
Lean Six Sigma
provides a wide range of complementary tools and methods to solve those nagging problems in your manufacturing process, reduce defects, reduce the costs of inventory, increase your organization's profits, and improve employee morale.
In this course --
almost 9.0 hours long
-- you will learn at a GREEN BELT level. In other words, you will learn all the major tools at a conceptual level, and for many of the tools, you'll get a chance to dig into the analytical work. No prior statistical knowledge is necessary. And even though this class digs into many different analytical methods within the context of
Microsoft Excel
, the pace is slow and steady so everyone, regardless of their background can learn these skills.
Plus, when you sign up for this class, you will receive
over a dozen downloadable Excel templates and study guides
to get you started implementing improvements at your company!!
You will learn all these tools within the
DMAIC framework
. DMAIC is a problem-solving approach developed by the gurus of quality in the mid 20th century. Yet ... it is still very relevant today. DMAIC stand for: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control. These are the five phases of solving just about any problem.
Here is a small sampling of the simple, yet powerful tools you'll learn at each phase:
DEFINE:
SIPOC Diagrams
Value Stream Mapping
Rolled Through Yield
Overall Equipment Effectiveness
Breakeven Point
Going to the "Gemba"
MEASURE:
Critical-to-Quality Characteristics
Process Capability Analysis
Correlation
Control Charting
Measurement System Analysis
Who are Your Stakeholders?
ANALYZE:
Five Why's x 3 Layers
Takt Time
Total Cost of Inventory
Simple Linear Regression
Qualitative Analysis
The Value of Curiosity in Problem Solving
IMPROVE:
Predictive Maintenance
Shifting the Mean
5S
Cellular Manufacturing
Design for Assembly
Why Prototype?
CONTROL:
Standardized Training
Process Control Plan
Layered Process Auditing
Andon
Checklists
Control Limits
And in addition to the many tools you'll learn, you will also gain tremendous managerial-level insights like:
Strategies for Change Management
Principles of Project Management
Theory of Constraints
Using Pareto Analysis for Problem Selection
Connecting LSS projects to an Organization's Business Objectives
Relevant Business Finance Principles
And Much More
NEW FOR 2025:
Added content on contingency planning and TEEP
Updated and expanded course notes
A downloadable Lean Six Sigma Glossary of Terminology
Fully remastered audio
Easier-to-follow course sections
