You wish to upgrade some of your Green Belts to a Black Belt qualification, to support your breakthrough improvement approach, through the management of strategic projects both to reduce variability and optimize the process flow, of your industrial or service processes.
BB qualification can only be awarded after successful completion of the knowledge test (case study with Minitab).

Description
- Identify and manage strategic projects (reduction of process variability and/or process flow optimization).
- Use advanced statistical techniques appropriately at the DMAIC steps and apply them effectively in the context of a Lean 6 Sigma project.
- Apply the statistical tools that apply to data with non-normal distributions.
- Effectively integrate Lean tools into a DMAIC approach.
- Know how to use Minitab for statistical data analysis.
Qualified Green Belts wishing to evolve to support a breakthrough improvement approach.
This training is offered in several sessions: 2 sessions of 2 days and 2 sessions of 3 days.
The DMAIC steps and associated tools are taught based on a case study and exercises.
During this training, it is recommended that participants apply the concepts and tools taught during the intersession on a Six Sigma project of their organization; feedback is done at the beginning of each session.
6 Sigma file on excel format is provided to allow the formalization of the 6 Sigma project results and the use of basic statistical tools.
Knowledge test (Multi Choice Questions: 60 questions) over approximately 2 hours
Participant file including presentations delivered during the course and exercise materials. Training materials in digital format are made available to trainees a few days before the course.
Trainings:
- VSM: Build a Value Stream Map – OE024
- TRIZ method – innovation: encouraging creativity, stimulating the search for innovative solutions – TM061
- 5S Workshop – OE028
- SMED: training-workshop – reduce your series changeover times – OE027
- TPM: Total Productive Maintenance – Pilot workshops – OE030
Consulting services: TRIGO can assist you with the practical implementation of the system in your company. Contact us to learn more.
- Have a PC with a microphone, a webcam and, if possible, a headset for greater comfort. Note: background screens are available on Zoom or Teams to blur or hide the rear view.
- Have a good Internet connection, to be tested before the session.
- Be installed in a quiet, isolated place; set yourself to “unavailable” status on Teams; close your email access, and mute your phone, so as not to be disturbed during the session.
- Participants from the same organization should not be grouped together in the same room, but each at his/ her own desk, to avoid any side discussions during the session. Virtual sub-groups will be specially created for the exercises, which will also enable mixed groups.
- Remote qualification/certification exams must be taken with webcam and microphone open. We may also need to check that you are alone in the room.
- Please connect 5 minutes before the start of the session.
Prerequisites
- Be Green-Belt qualified (diploma to be communicated to us) or if you don’t have a diploma and think you have the Green-Belt level, we will offer you a knowledge test (3-hour quiz) to assess your entry level to the training course (contact us for an offer).
- A laptop computer running Minitab statistical processing software. Please contact us for a license at a preferential rate.
- Have a 6 Sigma project at Black-Belt level to apply in intersession, the concepts taught
