Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Self-Study English

What does the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Self-Study English program entail?

What to expect from our Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Self-Study English?

In this self-study, we cover all the relevant tools and techniques necessary to start, execute, and successfully complete a Lean Six Sigma improvement project.

Similar to the Green Belt program, the Black Belt self-study heavily integrates theory and practice. Each theoretical module is paired with numerous assignments from the provided workbook, ensuring high interactivity. For some assignments, you will work with statistical analyses, and during the course, you will need Excel and MiniTab 16, 17, or 18 to practice.

What does the program look like?

• Part 1
  You will learn the fundamentals and essence of Lean and Six Sigma. Lean working is about both Lean Doing (the techniques) and Lean Being (the right mindset). We will teach you how to effectively start the right improvement project. You will also learn how to measure, analyze, and improve processes. You’ll practice mainly with Lean and change management techniques, applying them directly in a mini-project through a simulation game that mimics real-world scenarios.
• Part 2
  After an introduction to applied statistics and MiniTab, you’ll learn how to set up a valid measurement and assess process performance. Next, you’ll learn to perform graphical and data analyses to uncover the root causes of process issues. Once the root causes are identified, you will learn to model improvements through experiments. And, of course, you will also learn how to implement and sustain improvements, ensuring that continuous learning and improvement become second nature.

What will you be able to do after completing the program and certification?

After completing the training, you will be capable of independently starting, executing, and bringing larger Lean Six Sigma projects to a proven success. Using Lean and Six Sigma techniques, you will be able to efficiently and systematically identify, analyze, and improve process issues. With as result leading to higher quality, increased productivity, lower company costs, and enhanced customer satisfaction.

Lean vs. Lean Six Sigma, what is the difference and which is the best choice for me?

Lean focuses on eliminating waste to increase efficiency, while Lean Six Sigma aims to reduce both waste and variation in processes. If you are looking for a more holistic approach to process improvement with a focus on quality improvement, Lean Six Sigma may be the best choice. If your main goal is to increase efficiency, Lean alone may be sufficient.

Green Belt vs. Black Belt, what is the difference and which is the best choice for me?

In the role of Green Belt, you spend about 20% of your time identifying problems, implementing solutions, and optimizing processes, leaving enough room for other tasks. In contrast, a Black Belt spends more time on Lean Six Sigma as they are involved in more complex problems and lead multiple improvement projects. Green Belts focus on solving problems within a specific department, making their responsibilities similar to that of a project manager. Black Belts, however, carry more responsibility and take on a leadership role.

Is it possible to take a training in another language?

We offer classroom-based training and self-study options in both Dutch and English.

Can I enroll without prior knowledge?

No. To become a Black Belt, you must have completed a relevant Green Belt training beforehand.
