Lean Six Sigma Green Belt -training (in English)

The purpose of the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt -course is to help understand the Lean Six Sigma -methodology and its DMAIC project structure in practice. Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training gives the ability to carry out relatively small, well focused, in-department projects using the Lean Six Sigma implementation strategy. After the training, Green Belt may work as a team member or temporarily lead a project team and knows statistical problem solving skills applied in Six Sigma DMAIC projects.

Lean Six Sigma trainings by Quality Knowhow Karjalainen follow the proper content and the well-tried interactive methodology. Training combines traditional classroom training, interactive use of software with Minitab and projects in practice. This requires that participants have access to a personal computer with Minitab statistical software (version 19 or newer) and their own personal improvement project. Projects act as a framework for learning helping to apply theory to practice and enhance learning.

Training is organized in course periods (2+3+3+2+1 days) that follow the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC project structure. Between the training periods, participants will work on their own project in their organization following the DMAIC project structure. Participants will constantly apply theory to real life improvement project and will gain an excellent working knowledge of   effective process improvement method and the used tools.

The training complies with ASQ and ISO 13053 requirements and follows the well-established QKK Lean Six Sigma Green Belt course format in English. Course fee includes course materials in paper or e-book format, daily breakfast buffet, lunch and coffee and project help and guidance by the instructor.
