About Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification

2024 edition

The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification by MSI has been developed to test your fundamental understanding of both Six Sigma and Lean concepts at the Black Belt level.

Lean Six Sigma Black Belts are project leaders within their organization.  They typically have a strong understanding of the DMAIC process as well as maximizing customer value while minimizing waste.  They use Six Sigma and Lean processes throughout an organization-wide Lean Six Sigma quality improvement project.  Lean Black Belts map out the current components of a process and identify which of those elements are waste.  They then work to change or improve those wasteful elements and construct a new process that is leaner.
