Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Essentials
Program overview
Lean Six Sigma Green Belts are functional-area experts who support Black Belts as team members. Over time, they lead smaller projects specific to their own area.
Green Belt training covers the Lean Six Sigma fundamentals, with a greater focus on Lean principles. As functional experts, Green Belts mainly standardise key processes, reduce service cycle time and improve general process efficiency, all of which call for in-depth knowledge of Lean tools.
You'll learn how to
- Manage your area with data and facts
- Use Lean tools to increase process speed
- Create standard processes
- Identify critical customer quality issues
- Support Black Belts in executing complex projects
How the training works

During the week, candidates learn Lean and Six Sigma principles through financial services case studies.

After training, a comprehension test makes sure any knowledge gaps are closed.

Then Green Belts complete their projects and deliver results to the bottom line.
Who should attend?
Green Belts usually hold functional roles and are experts in their domain. They may not spend most of their time on projects, but they play a critical role in Black Belt project success. They are process improvement enthusiasts who champion Lean Six Sigma across their area.
Expected outcome: Projects of Green Belts who complete ProcessArc’s training typically deliver more than $100,000 in benefits.
