Introduction
What makes Black Belts so effective is their wide array of knowledge about the facets of Lean Six Sigma. During the training, students develop a deep understanding of Continuous Improvement tools and methods, as well as the soft-skills necessary to employ them effectively. Lean Six Sigma Black Belts are experts in turning employee resistance to change into support for further projects. Students acquire everything they need to start using Lean Six Sigma from the very start or join existing projects.
organisational BENEFITS
Lean Six Sigma Black Belts are experts who achieve amazing results. They focus on making things better all the time, including involving the people who care about the work, using numbers to understand problems, and finding permanent solutions. By leading projects that involve and help multiple departments, their projects contribute strongly to organisational goals. Black Belts know exactly which processes to refine in order to achieve the highest cost-benefit ratio. This combination of both hard- and soft-skills, understanding of analytics, and Continuous Improvement expertise is what makes Lean Six Sigma Black Belts so valuable to organisations.

Curriculum
The effectiveness of Lean Six Sigma Black Belts stems from the rare ability to help everyone save time. Time is always in short supply. But by refining processes, creating shared routines and by changing how people deal with hurdles at work, Lean Six Sigma practitioners can save incredible amounts of time. Black Belts learn how to deconstruct and rebuild processes, learn how to involve others in Continuous Improvement and how to improve the working standard for everyone.
Our Black Belt Services training has been designed with students in mind who wish to employ Lean Six Sigma on a full-time basis within larger, enterprise-sized organisations.

FAQ
Every course we provide assumes our students start the course without any understanding of the Lean Six Sigma methodology. It starts with the fundamentals and explains every topic that is mentioned without assuming prior experience. During the course, you will carry out simulations and exercises to help you develop your knowledge. If you choose to carry out a project as part of your course, you will be coached and assisted by one of the (Master) Black Belts of The Lean Six Sigma Company to help you get started.
This depends on your goals and what you intend to achieve. If you would prefer to employ Lean Six Sigma on a part-time basis, for example alongside other work, the Green Belt course would be the best choice. If it’s your aim to work with Continuous Improvement and Lean Six Sigma on a full-time basis, then the Black Belt course would be the right pick.
Lean and Lean Six Sigma are methodologies that one can start using during any career phase, and this course is the ideal starting point. Even as a beginner, your work can add tremendous value. Either methodology can serve as an addition to your current work, replacing a part of your existing responsibilities. Or it can become a new full-time career, depending on the course you choose.
The main difference is the scope of your projects. Green Belt course are usually aimed at solving issues that affect a single department stakeholders. Black Belt course tend to tackle long-standing, complex issues that cross departmental lines and affect different stakeholders. The responsibilities of a Green Belt align with those of a project manager. Black Belts carry more responsibilities and take a more active, leading role where they direct other Green Belts during course.
The Services course is most fitting for those employed in transactional careers such as general administration, logistics, finance, etc. The ‘Manufacturing’ course is most fitting for those involved with mass production, machinery, factories and automation). Of course, those who complete the Manufacturing course can still carry out projects in the aforementioned transactional fields.
The Green Belt course has very little statistics content, as opposed to our Black Belt course. Yet even the Black Belt courses have designed to start at the very basics, on the assumption that our students aren’t familiar with anything related to statistics. We realize the idea of working with statistics can sound somewhat intimidating, but our trainers have helped thousands of students understand (and find their interest in) statistics. Additionally, we offer complementary courses and several videos on our MyTraining™ platform that will help you prepare for, or repeat, specific exercises.
The Lean Six Sigma Company strives to organize its courses during normal working hours.
This is a conscious choice in order to avoid interfering with the private lives of our students and to get students used to the idea of working with Lean Six Sigma during typical working hours, and continue this habit once they complete the course.
However, some local exceptions apply. Please reach out to our helpdesk at info@theleansixsigmacompany.in if you have any questions.

The same applies to Lean and our Lean Practitioner and Lean Leader training, respectively.
Lean Practitioners have a different role than Lean Leaders. Practitioners carry out smaller-sized Lean Initiatives on a constant basis and report to stakeholders about their efforts. Lean Leaders on the other hand possess a wider range of knowledge of Lean, lead projects, and train employees so they can start using the Lean methodology themselves.
