Lean Six Sigma Certification Options:

At Six Sigma Development Solutions, Inc. there are two options to become certified as a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.

Certification Option #1: Pass the International Association for Six Sigma Certification’s (IASSC) Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Exam.

Certification Option #2: Complete a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt level project within six (6) months using the tools, methodology and road map provided by Six Sigma Development Solutions, Inc.

** If you complete a Lean Six Sigma Project as a group (more than one potential Belt working on the project), then each in the group will also be required to pass Six Sigma Development Solutions internal Lean Six Sigma Certification examination (this is a different test than the IASSC Lean Six Sigma exam). The maximum group size allowed is four (4). 

Please see Lean Six Sigma Certification Options for more information.

 

These tools are included to help you complete your Lean Six Sigma Black Belt project:

  • A Tollgate (Checklist) and a well-defined Flowchart for Project Completion.
  • A Master Black Belt to mentor you through your complete Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification project cycle.
  • A PowerPoint Template with detailed Instructions on how to complete your Final Project Presentation
  • A Customized plan and roadmap of how to complete your individual project within three months.

What do other clients say about us?

"SSDSI is absolutely the real deal! I have personally taken the LSSBB training in Austin, Texas (I am in Washington, DC). I currently have LSSBB, but my emphasis was on lean and taking LSSBB course has helped me to understand streamlining process not only by removing waste, but also by reducing variation with the use of statistics and statistical tools such as MiniTab.

The team at SSDSI are extremely knowledgeable and their practical experience has helped make sense of the material that may seem otherwise overwhelming. The instructors are calm, detailed, and patient. They are a wealth of knowledge, prepared, personable, reliable, and are amazing practitioners.

The instructors will not tell you what you want to hear, but what you need to hear. They are process focused and if you want to improve your business operations, please heed to their advise. They have definitely proven to be trusted advisers."

Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification project identification

Key requirements. The team should:

  1. Be able to identify the baseline (in a metric) of the process under investigation.
  2. Be able to describe the goal of the project (in a metric).
  3. Be able to produce a [i]representative sample data set of [ii]continuous data on the process Y(s) (or output(s)) and process X(s) (or inputs.)
  4. Explain the defect(s) that the team is trying to reduce by identifying the [iii]customer requirements.
  5. Have access to data on the Y(s) and X(s).
  6. Have data on the Y(s) and X(s) that populates at least once per day.

*If the team does not meet these requirements in the initial project planning phase, the team will be expected to meet these requirements within the progression of the project to meet the 180-day project completion deadline. **

Projects that should not be identified as a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt project:

  1. Projects that have already been completed.
  2. Projects used to justify a solution already in place.
  3. Projects that do not focus on the reduction of [iv]defects.
  4. Projects to move equipment, departments, or facilities (these are PM projects).

Key project deliverables (these deliverables must be met to receive certification):

  1. In the Measure phase, prove through either a GR&R Crossed, Attribute Agreement Analysis or an Audit, that the measurement system for both the project Y(s) and X(s) are reliable. If any are not reliable, then the team must improve reliability, and collect further data with a reliable system to analyze in the Analyze phase.
  2. In the Analyze phase, identify inputs that have a statistically significant effect (with a P-Value) on the output(s) in the process under investigation. *This excludes statistical analysis to prove the current process performance is different from the goal.
  3. In the Improve phase, prove through a statistical hypothesis test (with a P-Value) that a sample from the improved process is different than a sample from the baseline process and the difference equals or exceeds the difference stated in the goal statement of the team’s charter.

*The full set of deliverables is defined in the DMAIC project tollgates.

[i] A representative sample is a statistical snapshot that is used to make inferences about a wider population. A representative sample is one that shares the same demographic characteristic as the larger population.

[ii] Continuous data is data that can be measured on an infinite scale, it can take any value between two numbers, no matter how small (For example, time, length, width, volume)

[iii] Customer’s requirements are given in metrics. For example, design requirements for the inner diameter of a widget = .55 inches +/- .05 or a Hospital SAT survey score standard of 95% -5%.

[iv] A defect is a product or service that fails to meet agreed customer requirements.
