Lean Six Sigma - Green Belt
Instruction is led by 番茄社区 College of Engineering faculty and experts from the 番茄社区 Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Lean Systems.
The course consists of four days of lecture-based coverage of topics in Lean, Six-Sigma, and two mentoring sessions of individual hands-on, on-site project formulation and guidance resulting in significant operational savings and/or enhancement of product/service quality.
To ensure learning effectiveness, each participant should be permitted by their employer to spend 20% of their regular work time completing the required process improvement project during the certification program.
The project is expected to produce a significant estimated impact of $50,000 or equivalent in service, product quality, process or cost improvement.
