LEAN SIX SIGMA BLACK BELT
ONLINE
LEAN SIX SIGMA BLACK BELT Lean Six Sigma is a business strategy that has received world recognition in the manufacturing, distribution, engineering, logistics, software development, retail, healthcare, and government industries. 82% of all Fortune 100 companies publicly claim to utilize its principles, with an estimated global savings of $427 billion over the last 20 years. Organizations that have successfully transformed their culture and processes through Lean, Data Analytics, Theory of Constraints, and Scrum have created a competitive advantage by increasing their delivery speed, improving quality, and reducing costs. The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification course is the capstone in a series of the three online courses offered by the David Eccles School of Business Executive Education. Participants will learn and develop their mastery of the Lean Six Sigma (LSS) body of knowledge. Graduates will be able to lead strategic-level continuous improvement projects, analyze complex business scenarios, develop leaders in the LSS methodology, and deliver substantial results for any organization. A recent study showed certified Black Belts saving their organization over $275,000 annually, in addition to their regular responsibilities. Facilitated by a Master Black Belt, this course includes a live project conducted at the participant’s organization, video instruction, simulations, case studies, two one-on-one mentoring sessions, and world-class software programs, including a license to QI Macros and a year subscription to Palisades DecisionTools Suite.
