Lean Six Sigma Green Belt

Overview

Improve the quality of your business processes and reduce business waste with this short course on Lean Six Sigma at the Green Belt level.

Lean Six Sigma is a rigorous and disciplined methodology that uses organisational data and statistical analysis to measure and improve the performance of an organisation’s business processes.

Theory will be put into practice using practical examples and supervised exercises drawn from real life cases from a variety of industries.
