What is LSS Green Belt Training?
-
As a Green Belt, you will develop the expertise to reduce operational costs, improve process efficiencies, and enhance customer satisfaction. This training equips you with a broad range of Lean Six Sigma tools and methodologies, ensuring that you not only know the concepts but can effectively apply them in real-world scenarios.
To bridge the gap between theory and practice, our comprehensive Green Belt program includes a hands-on project and spans 3 to 4 months. This intensive approach is designed with one goal in mind: to develop you into a skilled Lean Six Sigma practitioner. As you progress through each phase of your project, your understanding of Lean Six Sigma principles will deepen, ultimately preparing you to lead process improvement initiatives with confidence.
What You'll Learn:
- Understand the Lean Six Sigma philosophy and apply it within your working environment
- Optimize processes using the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) structure
- Identify and prioritize customer requirements
- Recognize opportunities for process improvement and select impactful projects
- Analyze problems systematically and determine root causes
- Develop and implement sustainable, data-driven solutions
Program Structure:
The course consists of six classroom sessions over two weeks, incorporating interactive learning methods such as simulations, exercises, and discussions. After completing the classroom training, you will lead a project under the guidance of a Business Process Management coach. The project typically takes 3 to 4 months to complete and is designed to deliver measurable improvements.
By applying Lean Six Sigma principles in a real-world setting, your project will drive cost savings, efficiency gains, and performance improvements—benefiting both your department and the broader campus community.
Who Should Attend
Lean Six Sigma (LSS) Green Belt training is open to all individuals at UC Berkeley who are interested in or involved in process improvements. Regardless of what department you're part of, this program provides the skills you need to optimize workflows and create efficiencies within your unit.
