About This Course

For over 75 years, the Lean and Six Sigma methodologies have been helping organizations meet and exceed customer requirements while becoming more efficient and profitable. Lean and Six Sigma help organizations develop and deliver near-perfect products and services. Lean is a term developed by Toyota that focuses on the relentless pursuit of removing waste from business practices. The term "Sigma" is a statistical term that measures how far a given process deviates from perfection. The central idea behind Six Sigma is that if you can measure how many defects you have in a process, you can systematically determine how to eliminate them, getting as close to "zero defects" as possible. This course demonstrates advanced Lean and Six Sigma tools and techniques. A Black Belt is an advanced practitioner of Lean and Six Sigma. Students learn to document enterprise-level processes, identify the steps necessary to implement a Lean Six Sigma system, as well as learn how to teach and mentor in the workplace. While our Lean Six Sigma courses are not ASQ certification test prep courses, we employ the same material used to prepare students for the certification exam. Our instructors are practitioners who teach students how to apply Lean and Six Sigma to any business sector. Students walk away with practical knowledge on how to create and lead lasting change in their companies.
