SIX SIGMA Green Belt Qualification – #61
4,950.00 € HT
Context
If you want to deploy the Six Sigma approach and lead strategic projects to reduce the variability of your industrial or service processes or if you want to make your functional managers and process pilots evolve towards a Green Belt qualification (*) through EURO-SYMBIOSE’s training and expertise.
(*) The Green Belt qualification can only be granted by Euro-Symbiose under the following conditions :
- Successful completion of the knowledge test (MCQ) conducted on the last day of the training.
Objectives
- Understand your role as a Green Belt facilitator and leader of Six Sigma improvement teams.
- Know how to characterise a Green Belt level Six Sigma project (charter and contract).
- Know how to effectively build and lead a team around a Six Sigma project.
- Understand and know how to apply the DMAIC project approach.
- Know how to use quality tools and simple statistical techniques (normally distributed data) appropriately at different stages of the process.
- Know how to present the progress of your Six Sigma project to the Champion in a concise and comprehensive manner.
Recommanded for
- Operational or functional managers in charge of improving process performance.
Prerequisites
No prerequisites.
Pedagogy
- The steps of the method and the tools are taught using a case study.
- Exercises enable participants to practise their role as project team leaders.
- During this training course, participants are advised to apply the concepts and tools taught to a Six Sigma project in their organisation between sessions; feedback is provided at the start of the second week.
This training course is offered in several sessions: two 2-day sessions and two 3-day sessions.
Evaluation mode
- Knowledge test (MCQ 60 questions) over approximately 2 hours
Course materials
- Participant folder containing presentations given during the training course and exercise materials.
- An Excel workbook that allows future Green Belts to formalise the elements of their Six Sigma project management according to the DMAIC phases (charter, contract, action plan, milestone reviews, , etc.) and the use of the many tools covered in the training (SIPOC, CTQ matrix, cause-and-effect matrix, decision matrices, etc.) and simple statistical tools (control charts, MSA studies, capability studies and hypothesis testing for normally distributed data, DoE, etc.).
To go further
FINAL GREEN-BELT CERTIFICATION based on a project defense (EURO-SYMBIOSE certification) : based on the implementation of a Six Sigma Green Belt Project, validated by EURO-SYMBIOSE at the different DMAIC steps of the Project.

Summary of the Six Sigma approach
Hervé WALLERICH - SEITA
» Exciting, lively and illustrated training ! Well structured and dense, very useful for the future and in line with my expectations. »
Ouided DE HEAULME - ATR
» What I liked the most during this training is above all Valerie’s mastery of the subject, which had the immediate consequence of allowing me to find this training very clear, practical and adaptable to practical cases in my company. I never had the feeling that the concepts were abstract and would be good to put in a closet at the end of the training, because Valerie always made sure to bring all the principles to school cases. Moreover, the content of the training was totally adapted to the level of the group and alternated in a very balanced way theory and practical exercises. Finally, the homogeneity of the group was also one of the strong points. «
Geneviève GONIN-LANES - DASSAULT AVIATION
» This training was very interesting, very rich. The facilitator masters her subject and has a lot of experience, which contributes considerably to the training. The strong points are in the setting in situation which makes it possible to assimilate the principles. »
Christophe ARNAL - AERAZUR ZODIAC
» We were impressed by the quantity of tools, methodologies and statistical knowledge necessary to deploy a 6 Sigma approach and we praised our trainer, Valérie Le Couëdic, for mastering them. Personally, I found that the final exam, which was very complete, was a real evaluation of the knowledge acquired. I particularly appreciated this training for its content, its course and also for the richness of the various exchanges that we were able to share with the participants, all of whom came from the aeronautical sector and for whom the customer/supplier divide in our daily relations was totally erased. »
