The Six Sigma Green Belt Certification course is designed to give you a solid understanding of Six Sigma principles. The included training material will teach you how to effectively work within a Six Sigma team. You’ll learn to improve quality and reduce defects within your organization.
Six Sigma Green Belts should have a good understanding of the DMAIC process and an understanding of how process changes can be implemented. They work directly with Black Belts to define processes within their organization. They begin by determining who is the owner of the process they are working to improve. This is the single individual or group with responsibility for the end-to-end process. Next they define the scope, boundaries, or limitations for the process. The final step is to develop a high level process map which shows the start and end points of the process.
You’ll learn about SIPOC diagrams and Critical-to-Quality (CTQ) elements like Cost, process, safety, and delivery. You’ll also gain an understanding of the Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ) and how it is measured in different industries. Green Belts must have a strong understanding of who your customers are and what is important to them. Understanding customer feedback through the Voice of the Customer (VOC) and determining the requirements for your product. Prioritizing issues related to your product, you’ll work to determine internal processes and what causes variation.
Our Six Sigma Green Belt certification exam will test your fundamental understanding of these concepts. The exam is completed online and can be done from home or work. The study material is completely self-paced, so you can take the exam as soon as you feel you’re ready.
