Welcome to Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Training Congratulations on being selected for Green Belt training. Green Belt training will consist of 2 weeks of formal training. General Electric, Allied Signal, Motorola, and many other organizations have saved billions through their Six Sigma programs. The Lean Six Sigma curriculum will provide an expanded set of tools which will further enhance your ability to deliver significant value to the Army. Lean Six Sigma is not a statistics course. Lean Six Sigma is an improvement initiative in which resources (Black Belts and Green Belts) are armed with a powerful set of problem solving tools (Six Sigma and Lean) and sent into the organization to form, lead, and mentor teams on solving complex, high return projects.

Welcome to Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Training (Cont.) The following slides will provide a high-level view of what to expect from your training. Please remember that Lean Six Sigma is first and foremost a process. We only apply tools when they meet our objectives. Many tools will be taught, and it will be up to the Green Belt along with the team to decide when and where to apply the Lean Six Sigma tools. It is the goal of this training program to educate the students on the application of the Lean Six Sigma Improvement Process and the intelligent, strategic use of the Lean Six Sigma tools. Tool use guidance will be given and discussed in class.
