Course Description
The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt course is an intensive program designed for experienced professionals who are ready to lead high-impact process improvement projects and drive strategic organizational change.
Combining advanced statistical analysis, Lean methodologies, and leadership skills, this course equips participants to solve complex problems, eliminate waste, and deliver measurable results. Through hands-on exercises, real-world case studies, and project work, participants will learn to link process improvements directly to financial performance, ensuring that every initiative produces tangible bottom-line gains.
Participants will master DMAIC and DFSS methodologies, advanced statistical tools, change management techniques, and strategic deployment approaches. By the end of the program, they will be capable of leading cross-functional teams, coaching Green Belts, and aligning improvement projects with the organization’s financial and strategic goals.
