Acquire the expertise to drive substantial quality improvements, minimize variability, and achieve measurable cost savings while fostering a culture of continuous improvement and data-driven decision-making. Join us to become a vital force in transforming your organization into a high-performing, customer-focused leader in its industry!

The Learning Path for the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt is adapted to the body of knowledge of various accredited international institutions. It is at the discretion of the participant to choose the institution of their preference and register directly for proctored exams and pursue an accredited certification. Upon successful completion of the Learning Path, Affirma Academy issues a Certificate of Participation with the participant’s name.

A Lean Six Sigma Green Belt is a skilled professional well-versed in both foundational and advanced aspects of Lean and Six Sigma methodologies. They lead process improvement projects or collaborate as key contributors on complex initiatives led by a Certified Black Belt. Green Belts possess a thorough understanding of the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC) framework, as well as proficiency in Lean tools and techniques. They are adept at implementing, analyzing, and applying Lean Six Sigma strategies to streamline processes, reduce waste, enhance quality, and achieve measurable, sustainable improvements.

This seminar is tailored for professionals across all levels of management. Lean Six Sigma methodology emphasizes data-driven decision-making while integrating Lean principles to eliminate waste, minimize defects, and elevate quality standards. It fosters a culture of continuous improvement through active engagement and collaboration across all organizational levels.

From senior managers and team leaders to process improvement specialists and quality assurance professionals—this course is ideal for anyone aiming to enhance operational efficiency, streamline processes, and achieve sustainable performance improvements.

Upon completing this seminar, you will:

• Have a deeper understanding of the Six Sigma Methodology and DMAIC Framework.
• Develop Skills in Data Collection and Measurement.
