To remain competitive in today’s markets, businesses must strike a delicate balance between lowering operating costs and maintaining a high-quality product or service. This critical need for efficiency has fueled the demand for professionals with the skills of process improvement. If your goal is to master this skill set and improve your value as an employee, you should consider earning your Lean Six Sigma Green Belt.
The Green Belt, which sits between the beginning (Yellow Belt) and advanced (Black Belt) levels of practice, is defined by a strong knowledge of Six Sigma and Lean methods and project management training. Green Belts are expected to know the most commonly used problem solving tools and techniques, relying on Black Belts for assistance with more advanced statistical tools. Depending on your industry or organization, you will see Green Belts either leading simple projects or working as a team member on a large project team.
Green Belt training typically runs around 80 hours. This period represents the time needed to adequately cover the Green Belt Body of Knowledge (described in more detail below). Any training course with shorter than 80 hours will most likely be missing some of the standard content, and certification should include at least one project completed within a year of the start of training. By earning a Green Belt, you will have the opportunity for increased responsibility and recognition, improved earnings, and positively impacting the health and efficiency of your organization.
