The Six Sigma Green Belt Master, designed by Advance consultants, is based on the ASQ Body of Knowledge and transfers internationally recognized Best Practices.
Six Sigma is a data-driven approach and an organized, methodical methodology for eliminating variation in any process, from manufacturing to sales and from product to service.
ASQ – The American Society for Quality, is an association of more than 80,000 professionals and is present in more than 150 countries.
Its purpose is to promote principles and best practices in quality, improving the use and impact of quality in response to different business needs worldwide. In addition, ASQ aims to improve the tools available to professionals and has created a Body of Knowledge recognized worldwide of Six Sigma best practices used today by most Fortune 500 companies.
The objectives of the Six Sigma course are:
- Provide a structured approach that describes the cultural and organizational changes needed to successfully implement the Six Sigma method
- Strengthen knowledge of Project Management and Change Management, essential in leading an improvement project
- Provide tools to highlight the critical issues to be addressed and the solutions to be adopted, accelerating learning through Six Sigma implementation Case Studies
- Prepare to pass the Six Sigma Green Belt exam by ASQ (CSSGB)
We designed 2 Six Sigma Green Belt training paths, delivered over 4/5 months by certified instructors:
• Classroom path: 5 training days
• Live Webinar Flipped Class path: 10 sessions of 1.5 hours each + 3 sessions Q&A. In this version, participants are required to do pre-reading before the session, to then go into depth with the instructor on some key concepts, depending on the needs of the class.
Upon request, Advance also offers in-house training programs tailored to organizational needs.
teaching plan
The course includes:
- A classroom or Live Webinar training phase
- An individual study phase with remote instructor support
- Exam simulation with discussion of results.
Throughout the course, practical exercises will be conducted to enable the immediate assessment and application of the concepts presented during the lectures. The tools commonly adopted in Six Sigma implementations will be employed to identify sources of waste and process variability.
Furthermore, selected case studies of Six Sigma implementation will be examined in order to facilitate and accelerate the development of professional competencies.
The instructor possesses extensive experience in Six Sigma implementations carried out within leading multinational organizations that have established Six Sigma as a core methodology for the improvement of key performance indicators (KPIs).
Upon completion of the course, candidates may sit for the final internal Advance School examination, administered in paper-and-pencil format at the Advance School premises in Basel. The examination consists of a multiple-choice questionnaire. Successful candidates will be awarded the Six Sigma Green Belt – Advance School certificate.
By taking the ASQ examination, participants will obtain the international certification CSSGB – Certified Six Sigma Green Belt.
Teaching, learning material and final exam are in English. A good knowledge of English is therefore required.
