DESCRIPTION
Develop the skills you need to be a competent, data-driven practitioner.
Black Belts are a critical component of any Lean Six Sigma program. They are change agents and team leaders, project managers and problem solvers. Our Lean Six Sigma Black Belt program gives you the skills and knowledge you need to become a competent, data-driven practitioner who can execute projects and lead organizational change.
The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt program has a dual focus on Lean and Six Sigma, providing the critical knowledge you need to lead a variety of project types. The combination of waste-reducing Lean tools with statistically-sound Six Sigma techniques gives you the ability to ensure both quick wins and long-term, high-yield success. The course also includes change leadership skills training, giving you the added edge to effectively manage, support and motivate teams.
The program consists of four week-long sessions spread over four months. In between sessions, there is time to apply your training to an actual business project. Instructors provide feedback to participants in each phase. Students are also encouraged to schedule one-on-one mentoring sessions with their instructors to discuss specific project hurdles.
Program Highlights
- Classes feature industry-recognized curriculum and experiential learning exercises to maximize comprehension and retention.
- Throughout training, you receive guidance on an actual business issue and the opportunity to apply your new skills in a supportive learning environment.
- The program is technically challenging to ensure you learn how to implement solutions that produce financial results.
- The program is a joint certification between BMGI and SUKAD.
Course Includes:
- 1-year access to an online learning portal for curriculum and project support.
- Instructor mentoring for certification and project guidance.
- Certification including exams.
Course Outline
The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt program includes multiple days on project scoping and project definition. You learn the basics of DMAIC, then learn to solve problems using the more complex tools. When training is complete, you have the knowledge to effectively lead teams, work with senior leaders and drive projects to completion.
