Six Sigma Green Belt Certification Overview
A continuation building upon the concepts learned in the White Belt and Yellow Belt courses. The Six Sigma Green Belt is the backbone of successful organizations. The focus of this course is upon “data-driven” process improvement, analytics and management. The students will learn how to use descriptive statistics in combination with Cause/Effect analysis in the identification of errors/defect root causes and the subsequent control and elimination.
Although previously thought to only be applicable to manufacturing processes, this Cii ix Sigma Green Belt certification course is equally applicable to service, transactional, financial and healthcare organizations; in fact, any organization that serves a customer.
