12-DAY Services Six Sigma™ Green Belt Training

Course Tutors: Prof. Tony Bendell, Stan Bennett, Dr. Nick Corke

Dates

Introduction

Green Belts receive 12 days training and typically spend 20% of their time on improvement activities. In some mature Six Sigma organisations the expert Black Belts are supported by large numbers of Green Belts in order to ensure extensive application of the Six Sigma improvement methodology

Our public certificated Black and Green Belt programmes are project-based incorporating a delegate project to be undertaken between four-day training blocks. Black and Green Belt programmes are overlapping — the 20-day Black Belt programme incorporating five four-day training modules typically two to three weeks apart and the 12 to 16-day Green Belt programme consisting of the first three (for Green Belt) or four (for Advanced Green Belt) of these modules. Delegates are encouraged to bring their own laptops to these courses to maximise learning. We also recommend the use of MINITAB software.

Included in the programme costs are delegates’ notes and facilities, lunches and refreshments during the courses plus a one-day company consultancy familiarisation visit, ongoing project supervision and project assessment and certification by Professor Bendell and colleagues for successful participants. Courses are non-residential, however, local accommodation can be arranged on request at cost.

Our Approach

Services Ltd. has developed a unique approach to Six Sigma implementation based on a “whole-brain” approach rather than the typical primarily “left-brain” one used on many traditional programmes. This reflects our belief that Black and Green Belts and managers need specific training and mentoring to develop the creative skills necessary for their roles, in addition to the essential statistical and computing expertise. Our programmes also focus on the overall maximisation of Profit and Customer Satisfaction instead of just the sub-optimal minimisation of Cost.

Aim

Our aim is to train new Green Belts with the necessary knowledge and skills to enable them to:

Be a member of a Black Belt team or as the leader responsible for implementation of a Green Belt project, when Green Belts lead their own projects, they often work on a smaller sized project within a department instead of working with a cross-function focus.
