Résumé du cours
This 5-day instructor-led course prepares participants to take active Lean Six Sigma roles as team leaders skilled in problem-solving. Green Belts follow the Six Sigma DMAIC methodology to collect performance data, analyze it to find root causes, find ways to eliminate these causes and establish sustainable solutions. Lean concepts and tools are blended inside the DMAIC structure to add more insight to the analysis and power to the solutions.
The class times and days of the week vary depending on the specific class. Please reach out to for details.

Outline: Lean Six Sigma (Green Belt) (9303)
- Module 1: Introduction to Lean and Six Sigma
- This module presents both methodologies for improvement and shows how they work together to achieve better solutions.
- Module 2: Define
- This module explains how to initiate a well-defined project. Participants study how to create a project charter, gather customer needs and lay out the current process.
- Module 3: Measure
- This module explains how to baseline the performance of the current process in order to understand better what to improve upon.
- Module 4: Analyze
- This module explains how to find the root causes which must be eliminated in order to improve the current situation. From this point the methodology turns away from analysis and toward design.
- Module 5: Define Improve
- This module explains how to design solutions that eliminate the root causes identified previously.
- Module 6: Define Control
- This module explains how to deploy and standardize the solutions so that they may have maximum impact in the organization.
