The Lean 6 sigma Green Belt Certification prepares you to manage improvement projects. Our program prepares you to work on company-wide improvement projects alongside with Black Belts or independently on smaller departmental projects. The Green Belt Certification provides you with the DMAIC data-driven tools to “Define” opportunities for improvement, properly “Measure” and collect data to understand the gap, “Analyze” and “Improve” processes and “Control” to guarantee the sustainability of the improvement effort.

Working as a team, our instructors incorporate their real-world experiences and make this dynamic certification interactive and applicable to any industry. Each instructor is a specialist in a particular topic, providing the group with the practical knowledge needed to implement all the concepts learned in class. Our program will help you bring your professional experience to the next level, whether you want to make an impact in your company, resumé or both.

This course applies to anyone in the organization who will be part of a process improvement project, line supervisors, managers and directors in all areas of the company, such as manufacturing, operations, customer service, engineering, logistics, sales, quality and purchasing.

Green Belts are professionals trained in advanced analysis and resolution of problems following the 6 sigma methodology. This training allows them to implement lean 6 sigma projects within their departments or participate in a variety of improvement projects along the organization in a team leader capacity.

Depending on the organization, they may hold a full-time position in quality or continuous improvement, or be a resource with a valued skillset to be allocated to specific projects in addition to other roles and responsibilities they may carry. They usually work alongside a Black Belt.

Green Belts are problem solvers, thus highly desirable within any team. They are methodical and usually involved in identifying and maximizing improvement opportunities. Typically, their involvement leads to increased effectiveness and reduced risks through the application of a data-based decision-making framework.

This certification is designed for project managers, department managers, Green Belts, and other professional that would like to enhance their knowledge in process improvement and be recognized as leaders and agents of change.

Their main role is to lead cross functional quality projects and mentor and coach Green Belts. Beyond their expertise on the methodology, they also have deep understanding of team dynamics and great skill at engaging and managing it.

Full time Black Belts can typically complete four to six projects per year driving significant results. It is also common to find Black Belts in Project Management or the highest Operations and Manufacturing positions. Their final goal is to improve overall quality and profitability.

In this 20-hour certification, you will be introduced to the fundamentals of supply chain management, main processes, and the direct impact supply chain has in supporting your organization’s strategy and as a competitive advantage.

You will delve into the main supply chain processes focusing on:

You will also go through the operational processes identifying the most suitable transportation methods, warehouse efficiencies, inventory controls, after-sales and international trade implications.

Supply Chain Strategy
In this second block, we will focus on Supply Chain strategic decisions. We will use case studies to understand all variables and potential ramifications and analyze how strategy can have a direct impact into the companies’ financial results. Further, we will also learn how a Supply Chain can be controlled and improved by defining some key performance indicators (KPI) using acclaimed approaches. Finally, we will discuss security and compliance aspects, making sure that operations are being operated in alignment with internal and external requirements.

Supply Chain Tactical Processes
In this third block, we will review critical steps for moving forward. With strategy and direction defined, we will shift to all aspects of demand forecasting, inventory planning, and the impact of product design on the supply chain. Further, we will shed light on production and distribution planning. Finally, we will learn some publically acclaimed management methodologies such as S&OP (Sales & Operations Planning), and Supplier/Customer Collaboration.

Supply Chain Execution Processes
Now that we have defined the strategy and have planned the supply chain, it’s time to execute. In this final module, we will go over all practical aspects of procurement, inventory management, warehousing, distribution, transportation, imports/exports and reverse logistics.

Build a Supply Chain
Throughout the course, students will participate in a guided simulation exercise. Groups will work together to create a fictitious model Supply Chain. On the final day of our program, each group will present their unique Supply Chains.
