Breakthrough Strategies, Inc. recognizes that a certified Six Sigma Green Belt is a vital component of successful continuous improvement programs. Most organizations realize that the need to develop Green Belts, who are the critical mass for change, is necessary if they want to achieve breakthrough results from their Six Sigma initiatives. Our four-day Green Belt Certification Course provides participants with a fundamental understanding of Six Sigma and its application that will facilitate those initiatives.

Our course is built upon the following framework:

• The philosophy/principles of Six Sigma
• An in-depth appreciation for and practical use of the Six Sigma methodology supported by examples of strategies, tools, measurements, and controls used in successful planning and deployment
• Examples from organizations that have successfully implemented Six Sigma, and how they got started
• Key learning's that are supported through the utilization of experiential/team based assignments

In addition, our certification course focuses on the following:

• Concepts, methodology and tools often used in problem solving and planning
• A working knowledge of process mapping and the benefits of process improvement
• Data gathering, statistical analysis, and the implementation of improvement initiatives
• The use of designated quantitative and qualitative tools needed to make improvements in service, cost, time and customer/employee satisfaction
• The development and establishment of performance measures
• The establishment of a data collection process used in conjunction with the principles of variation
• An understanding and ability to apply statistical tools (e.g., control charts) to business situations.

What Sets Us Apart from Other Green Belt Certification Courses

Most other Green Belt programs focus on statistical tools alone and can take from 5 to 15 days to complete. Only about 20% to 30% of the statistical tools taught are commonly used in day-to-day improvement efforts. Our approach is to take the statistical tools that have the highest probability of use, and balance that with facilitation skills, data gathering, problem solving, process improvement, team building, and decision-making tools. Our 35 years of practical Six Sigma experience has taught us that the most efficient and effective Green Belt is one who has a “balanced” skill set in leading and participating in improvement efforts.

Participants will learn:

• A five-step improvement model
• How to define and clarify what needs to be improved
• How to gather data to determine and measure current performance
• How to analyze data and develop an improvement plan
• How to implement an improved process and measure future performance
• How to control the gains and continue the improvement
• How companies like GE and Allied Signal use Six Sigma concepts to drive improvement and profits to new levels
