Lean Six Sigma Green Belt

The Macmillan Learning Green Belt Certification program is offered to employees interested in learning, applying, and embracing the data-driven, structured problem-solving methodology of Lean Six Sigma. Green Belts in training will learn to utilize several process analysis tools to investigate key business issues, develop the best solutions to resolve them, and put those ideas into action. It is a great opportunity to build project management and leadership skills while helping to address critical business needs. With support from a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, participants in the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt program will: • Work on a process improvement project team and build cross-functional relationships with fellow team members from various departments. • Define and gain a clear understanding of the current state of the problem they are looking to solve through the use of several Lean Six Sigma tools and techniques. • Measure and analyze data to accurately capture the magnitude of the problem and to ensure resources address the most significant root causes. • Develop the ability to apply basic statistical concepts to business issues and metrics; help to establish a culture of utilizing key performance indicators and statistical data analysis to make informed, aligned decisions. • Problem-solve with their project team—brainstorm, prioritize, and select solutions that best align with company strategy and have the greatest impact on the problem addressed. • Employ key project management tools such as a project charter, communication plan, stakeholder analysis, implementation plan, control plan, and more. • Participate in either a Green or Black Belt level project until its completion, pass the Green Belt exam, and lead a short Kaizen event to make a rapid process improvement in their department, using the appropriate tools from the Lean Six Sigma toolset.
