Course Description
This 6-day Lean Six Sigma Green Belt course is aligned to ISO 18404, equips participants with the globally recognized skills to lead improvement projects that deliver significant, measurable financial gains.
ISO 18404 is the international benchmark for Lean Six Sigma competency, ensuring participants not only understand the tools and methods but can apply them effectively to deliver real business value. Completing this training provides independent proof of capability to reduce costs, eliminate waste, and improve processes in ways that directly boost the bottom line.
Through interactive workshops, data-driven exercises, and real-world case studies, participants will learn to identify and prioritize projects based on financial impact, reduce the Cost of Poor Quality (CoPQ), apply the DMAIC framework and Lean tools to eliminate waste and variation, and quantify savings often ranging from $50,000 to $250,000 per project.
