Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Training

Lean Six Sigma Black Belt training provides a comprehensive understanding of both the Six Sigma process the tools of
lean manufacturing needed to effect significant improvements in quality, efficiency, cost and customer satisfaction.
Targeted specifically for those individuals who will be directing Lean Six Sigma teams on a full-time basis, students will
learn how to identify improvement opportunities, measure and analyze a process, develop, assess and implement
solutions, and establish controls to optimize and fix the gains. This program can be used as a stand-alone certificate or
can be adjusted for concepts already mastered through completion of Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training. Students
receive the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certificate upon successful completion of the program.

Please note that the exact content of

each program will be determined
after a needs assessment to identify
what skills students already possess
and the specific tools that should be
incorporated into the curriculum.
Also please note that final project
approval is not guaranteed, however
