Six Sigma Green Belt (DMAIC)

Objectives:

Training skills to lead improvement projects using DMAIC methodology and related tools, including statistics as well as MINITAB or SigmaXL statistical software.

Target audience:
Staff from production or service companies, involved in continuous improvement activities - engineers from the quality, process engineering, production departments, heads of departments, specialists in Human Resources, Logistics, Finance, Customer Service, etc.

Six Sigma is one of the most effective methodologies for solving complex problems;

There are several levels of training in Six Sigma and these are differentiated by the level of complexity of the tools applied: Yellow Belt, Champion, Green Belt, Black Belt and Master Black Belt;

In general, the first two levels (YB and Champion) are introductory and are addressed to team members and heads of departments, respectively (those who allocate projects, usually managers);

Green Belt is the first technical level, and graduating from this course must certify a sufficient level of knowledge to lead medium complexity improvement projects;

The training and coaching program lasts 15 days and is intended for those interested in acquiring skills in leading improvement projects using Six Sigma methodology and tools (management and staff in the departments of quality, process, maintenance, logistics, human resources, IT).

Included are 10 days of training - theory + applications in the gym, 4 days of coaching to complete a real improvement project assigned by the company and a day dedicated to presenting projects to Top Management.

Certification is conditioned by participation in training, graduation of the exam and completion of the project.

Six Sigma Green Belt delivered by Effective Flux:

• Includes all the tools needed to solve the problems (especially the statistical ones)
• Use MINITAB or SigmaXL software for easy understanding and application of statistical techniques. For this reason, throughout the program (about 6 months), participants must have access to computers with MINITAB or SigmaXL software installed.
• Includes coaching for the development, by each participant, of a real project, allowing the application in reality of the methodology and tools, generating for the client benefits that exceed 3-8 times the costs of the course
• It is one of the few on the market that is structured to achieve maximum customer satisfaction: employees ready to successfully complete improvement projects and recover training costs.

The granting of the Certificate is conditioned by the participation in the course, the graduation of the theoretical exam and the successful completion of the project within the given term. The certificate can also be obtained in case the project is delayed, but in this situation there will be a cost related to the additional evaluation of the project.
