Lean Six Sigma
Green Belt Certification Program

Discover the power of Six Sigma to improve processes.
And work on your own real time project during the course.

In partnership with Kevin Clay of Six Sigma Development Solutions, Inc. (SSDSI) the University of Tulsa offers a blended learning program, combining live classroom lectures with interactive web-based modules to deliver flexible, but thorough Lean Six Sigma Green Belt education.   Blended programs allow companies of all types and sizes to make the best use of classroom time, reduce training costs and improve student retention of Lean Six Sigma concepts.

So, what are Lean and Six Sigma?

Lean (Enterprise):

• Focuses on processes and flow with effective management of inventory and materials.

• Emphasizes waste prevention - any extra time, labor, or material spent that does not add value to products or services.

Six Sigma:

• Is a process that helps develop and deliver near-perfect products and business processes through the identification and the reduction or elimination of variation.

• Enables you to measure how many defects you have in a process and systematically determine how to eliminate them through process definition and analysis.

Lean + Six Sigma:

• Integration of two Powerful Techniques to Achieve "Increased Process Speed combined with World Class Process Quality"

This high impact training gives participants hands-on application of Lean Six Sigma skills and tools. Lean Six Sigma concepts are introduced first online, and then reinforced through classroom lectures and exercises.
