Unique in the industry, SBTI has developed a training model that allows clients to develop their corps of Lean Sigma project leaders while creating an environment where Black Belts and Green Belts begin to build a strong working relationship. We call it Lean Sigma Green/Black Belt 2+2®. In this training model, the first two weeks are a combination of Green Belt and Black Belt candidates studying a shared curriculum. Candidates wishing to go on to the Black Belt level will attend the second two weeks of the model.
Students will learn how to apply Lean to reduce waste and Six Sigma to eliminate defects and minimize variation, all integrated within the proven DMAIC roadmap. For both Green Belts and Black Belts, training is action-oriented: Simulations, experiential training, team projects and case studies give students a hands-on learning experience.
Weeks 1 and 2
Lean Sigma Green Belt Level
Through training and dynamic exercises, Green Belts will learn the key Lean Sigma tools and the DMAIC roadmap. Under the leadership of either a Black Belt or a Master Black Belt, they support of the overall program in achieving results. Green Belts take responsibilities for smaller projects, utilizing an in-depth understanding of the key Lean Sigma tools and measurement systems knowledge.
Outcome:
• Understanding of the methodology and Lean Sigma Green Belt tools
• Ability to deliver project results within a Transactional or Operations process
• Project leaders who can assess processes and identify and prioritize optimal projects
• Project leaders who will bring new Lean Sigma skills back to their work areas
Who Should Attend:
The right candidate for this position is someone with good communication skills and who works well in a team structure.
Weeks 3 and 4
Lean Sigma Black Belt Level
Black Belts have a deeper set of technical skills than Green Belts and are given a larger Lean Sigma tool kit within the DMAIC roadmap. Black Belts often act as change agents for the organization, leading larger scoped, more complex projects, with cross-functional boundaries, including both Operational and Administrative processes. They manage the activities of the Green Belts within projects they are leading.
Outcome:
• Understanding of the process and Lean Sigma Black Belt tools
• Ability to deliver project results within and across processes
• Project leaders who can lead process improvement teams and projects to breakthrough results
Duration:
Who Should Attend:
Those who are seen as future business leaders, Department Directors assigned full time to Process Improvement, Green Belts who want to lead more complex, inter-departmental/divisional projects.
