Six Sigma Green Belt Certification

Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven methodology for reducing variation in any process. The Six Sigma methodology–driven by the DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve, control) process–is executed by Six Sigma green belts, Six Sigma black belts, and overseen by Six Sigma master black belts. Green belt training participants receive a subset of the more advanced black belt training course, with an emphasis on developing a structured problem-solving strategy for addressing business improvement projects by using intermediate quality tools within the Six Sigma methodology.

Objectives/Topics:

  • Introduction to Six Sigma history, applications, benefits, and the DMAIC methodology
  • Define phase
    • Define tools- matrix diagrams, work breakdown structures, pareto diagrams, histograms, process mapping, value stream mapping, flow charts, trend charts, financial analysis, and the supplier-input-process-output-customer (SIPOC) technique
    • Project selection tips
  • Measure phase
    • Measuring approaches- house of quality, teams in action, process baseline definition, benchmarking
    • Tools for measuring- basic statistics, box whisker plots, cause and effect diagrams, check sheets, interrelation diagrams, process capability and performance indices, goodness-of-fit tests
    • Measurement system analysis- gage stability, linearity, repeatability & reproducibility analysis
  • Analyze phase
    • Statistical analysis methods- analysis of variance (ANOVA), design of experiments (DOE)
    • Lean enterprise methods
    • Statistical analysis with Minitab software
  • Improve phase
    • Cost of poor quality
    • Tools used to improve- pareto & prioritization matrix, failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA), process decision program charts (PDPC)
    • Preventing failures
  • Control phase
    • Control tools- statistical process control (SPC) charts, process capability studies
    • Maintaining improvements- measuring and realizing bottom line impact, applying knowledge elsewhere

Simulation:
In addition to lecture material, this course utilizes various forms of hands-on simulations, exercises, and case studies to demonstrate Six Sigma concepts. The course also utilizes and demonstrates the use of Minitab software applications for statistical analysis.

Certification:
This course includes a Six Sigma green belt certification exam, to be administered on the last day of the training.

Course Length:
40 hours, Monday-Friday, starting at 9:00 a.m.

Class Size:
6 to 18 participants. Classes that do not meet the minimum attendee requirements may be canceled or rescheduled.

Cost:
$2,400 per person for open enrollment.
$25,000 for entire class (If you would like to book an entire class, ATN can schedule to your convenience.)
