Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Training
Class starts January 18, 2010

Advancing and sustaining vocational and company growth can be heavily dependent on leveraging proven on-going improvement tools/concept. Leading this field are Lean and Six Sigma. To address these needs and opportunities. the Anaheim Chapter of APICS has developed an incorporated Lean and Six Sigma offering where one can receive both a Six Sigma Green Belt certification along with a firm grasp of Lean concepts.

There is really no controversy in considering Lean and Six Sigma as "shared" set of tools and a philosophy where they are truly mutually exclusive. More and more companies are now realizing this (e.g., Boeing with their Lean Plus initiative and GE who now has a VP of Lean Six Sigma).

Class Instructions will be led by a Six Sigma Master Black Belt who also extends training in Lean as a practitioner and instructor. A project is part of the curriculum and can be team-based. Guidelines and criteria are available to facilitate the project. There will be a review and quiz for each session, which will be the basis for the final exam. The course concludes with a "real" opportunity project and an open book final exam.

There are no prerequisites required for this course, but to better personalize and to have an effective instructor to student interaction/mentoring, the enrollment is limited to 12 students.

"Takeaways" include software applicable to Lean Six Sigma Green Belts, a hardcopy text, subject outlines, and applicable articles/tools. And, the first eight (8) registrations will receive a statistical calculator as part of their registration benefits.

We have been asked, "Why are we offering the Lean SS Green Belt training at such a low cost since similar offerings is usually twice our cost or greater?' Our response to this is that our chapter has a vision and goal in enhancing our customer's career and/or their workplace competitive advantage. If we can do this at the lowest cost while offering value and a powerful business tool set, we are meeting our own expectations and vision.
