Lean Six Sigma Green Belt
Lean Six Sigma can be compared to a marathon runner: a professional athlete may analyse their performance to identify and remove any unnecessary actions or inefficiencies with the goal of improving their performance in both time and success.
Lean Six Sigma is a globally recognised management approach to business performance improvement that has blended the individual specialisms of Lean and Six Sigma: The focus of Lean is on speed, efficiency, and removing waste from the process, while Six Sigma centres on effectiveness and the removal of errors.
The Lean Six Sigma Green Belt offers further insight into developing your skills as a department manager, process engineer, or process manager who seeks to resolve inefficiencies or solve problems in a way that maximises results and minimises waste. You can run improvement projects with this certification before working your way up to larger improvement efforts.
