About this course
Course overview
Lead measurable improvement from problem selection to sustained results.
Lean Six Sigma Green Belt is a five-day practitioner bootcamp for professionals who lead or support measurable process improvement projects. Learners apply DMAIC, process mapping, data collection, root-cause analysis, statistical thinking, improvement design, control planning, and project storytelling.
The course is project-centered from the beginning. Participants build a DMAIC project charter, process map, data plan, baseline view, root-cause analysis, improvement experiment, control plan, and final project story they can use in operational, service, technology, and business process settings.
Learning outcomes
What you'll learn
Every module is tied to an outcome you can bring back to your team the next day.
- Select appropriate Green Belt projects, write problem and goal statements, define scope, identify stakeholders, and build a practical project charter
- Use SIPOC, current-state maps, value-stream thinking, handoff analysis, and customer-value measures to understand the work
- Build data collection plans, operational definitions, baseline measures, run charts, Pareto views, and capability-oriented thinking
- Use root-cause tools, graphical analysis, waste and variation analysis, hypothesis thinking, and prioritization to separate likely causes from symptoms
- Design countermeasures, pilots, mistake-proofing, standard work, flow improvements, and risk controls that address verified causes
- Create control plans, visual management, handoff routines, response plans, benefits tracking, and project stories that help improvements last
- Document 40.0 PMI education PDUs: 28 Ways of Working, 4 Power Skills, and 8 Business Acumen
Audience
Who it's for
- Process improvement practitioners, project managers, analysts, operations leaders, supervisors, and functional team members
- Yellow Belts ready to move into project leadership and deeper DMAIC application
- Professionals responsible for reducing defects, delays, rework, cost of poor quality, handoff friction, or service variation
- Organizations building a practical Green Belt pathway with project-based improvement expectations
Course structure
Syllabus
A structured path from core concepts to applied practice.
Day 1 - Lean Six Sigma Foundations and Define
- Lean, Six Sigma, DMAIC, Green Belt role, project selection, voice of the customer, CTQs, business case, charter, scope, sponsors, and stakeholder alignment
- Problem statements, goal statements, SIPOC, customer value, high-level process context, project risks, assumptions, constraints, and tollgate expectations
- Workshop: build a Green Belt project charter and Define-phase tollgate package
Day 2 - Measure and Process Baseline
- Process mapping, swimlanes, value-stream thinking, handoffs, queues, rework loops, waste, bottlenecks, and operational definitions
- Data collection plans, sampling, measurement system thinking, baseline metrics, run charts, Pareto charts, histograms, scatterplots, and performance dashboards
- Practice Lab: create a current-state process map, data plan, and baseline performance view
Day 3 - Analyze Root Causes and Variation
- Cause-and-effect diagrams, 5 Whys, affinity analysis, process stratification, failure modes, constraint analysis, waste analysis, and variation thinking
- Graphical analysis, correlation cautions, hypothesis framing, prioritization matrices, verified root causes, and tollgate decision logic
- Workshop: analyze a process problem and prepare an Analyze-phase story
Day 4 - Improve Design and Pilot Planning
- Countermeasure selection, mistake-proofing, standard work, flow redesign, visual management, workload balancing, service recovery, and solution creativity
- Pilot design, risk review, stakeholder communication, change adoption, impact/effort trade-offs, implementation planning, and benefit estimation
- Exercise: design an improvement pilot with risk controls and success measures
Day 5 - Control, Sustainment, and Green Belt Project Story
- Control plans, response plans, owner handoff, monitoring cadence, visual controls, documentation, training, standard work, and audit routines
- Benefits realization, before/after evidence, lessons learned, project storytelling, tollgate presentation, and Green Belt completion expectations
- Capstone: present a DMAIC project story and 30-day project execution plan
