This LEAN Six Sigma Green Belt training course provides hands-on participation in an extensive simulation of a substantive LEAN Six Sigma project. The 88-hour (1 day/week) course training teaches and prepares individuals to implement the principles, practices and techniques of LEAN Six Sigma in a support capacity on a Black Belt project team or leader on smaller projects. Green Belts are traditionally Lead process stakeholders and may also be assigned specific process-level improvement projects to conduct on their own--projects that normally do not require the statistical rigor demonstrated by a Black Belt. This course does, however, provide a significant introduction to the statistical tools, graphical analysis and data-collection strategies often only found in a Black Belt class. Course will provide in-class use of Minitab statistical software. For more information or to schedule a training, please contact ewd@abtech.edu.
