Six Sigma Green Belt Certified (SSGB)

Six Sigma Green Belt (SSGB) Course

The Six Sigma Green Belt course focuses on providing students with an understanding of the various Six Sigma tools and techniques useful for improving the production process and minimizing defects in the final product, with a greater emphasis on the practical implementation of these tools and techniques within the organization.

The course includes an opportunity to obtain the Six Sigma Green Belt (SSGB) Certification Exam. The sessions are both theoretical and practical.

The course is taught in e-learning modality and face-to-face and telepresence training activities can also be carried out on demand .

Goals

Upon completion of the Six Sigma Green Belt course, participants will learn how to:

• Identify the criteria for project selection and evaluation.
• Plan and execute Six Sigma projects.
• To form and effectively lead a Six Sigma project team.
• Apply DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) and various Six Sigma tools to improve processes and quality.
• Assess and manage project risk.
• Significantly increase profitability through Six Sigma projects.
• Avoid obstacles when implementing Six Sigma.
• Integrate and improve innovation and problem-solving skills.

Addressed to

This course is designed for employees and organizations that require a standardized approach to problem-solving for continuous improvement. This includes team leaders, supervisors, associates, quality assurance engineers, project managers, software professionals, QA team members, current executives, and senior managers who will dedicate a small portion of their time to applying DMAIC tools in their natural work environment.

• Future managers who want to become certified as a Green Belt in Six Sigma.
• Management and Engineering students who want to be more resourceful and employable.
• Project management professionals (PMPs) who want to obtain PMI PDUs by learning the nuances of the quality paradigm.
• Any other professional member who is conducting research, innovation, or consulting on process improvement practices.
