5-Day Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Training

Description

In many organizations, improvement efforts struggle for one simple reason: teams jump to solutions before understanding the data.

This 5-Day Lean Six Sigma Green Belt program is designed to change that.

Delivered in person by Sandeep Kumar, founder of Quality Gurus Inc., this intensive workshop helps professionals learn how to reduce variation, improve yield, solve recurring problems, and make better operational decisions using Lean Six Sigma and Minitab.

Unlike theory-heavy certification programs, this course focuses on practical application in manufacturing and operations environments.

Why This Program Is Different

Many Green Belt courses spend too much time on:

1. formulas
2. hand calculations
3. textbook examples
4. certification memorization

This program focuses on:

1. real operational problems
2. manufacturing examples
3. practical statistical thinking
4. process variation
5. capability analysis
6. data-driven decision making

Participants learn how to:

1. identify root causes
2. interpret Minitab output
3. understand process behavior
4. reduce process variation
5. sustain improvements on the shop floor

The course uses examples related to:

1. welding
2. assembly
3. dimensional variation
4. yield loss
5. process capability
6. production drift
7. operator and shift variation

What Participants Will Learn

Over five intensive days, participants move through the DMAIC framework:

Define

Learn how to clearly define problems, identify CTQs, and build meaningful project scopes.

Measure

Understand:

1. variation
2. data collection
3. measurement systems
4. Gauge R&R
5. baseline performance

Participants also learn how to use Minitab for:

1. descriptive statistics
2. histograms
3. boxplots
4. normality testing

Analyze

Learn how to identify the real drivers behind process variation using:

1. hypothesis testing
2. regression
3. ANOVA
4. graphical analysis
5. root cause analysis

Participants learn when to use:

1. t-tests
2. control charts
3. capability studies
4. scatterplots
5. Pareto analysis

Improve

Move from analysis into implementation using:

1. solution selection
2. mistake-proofing
3. pilot validation
4. corrective actions
5. process optimization

Control

Learn how to sustain gains using:

1. SPC
2. reaction plans
3. control plans
4. visual management
5. escalation logic
6. layered process audits

Hands-On Minitab Training

This is not a slide-only workshop.

Participants work directly in Minitab throughout the week.

The course includes:

1. live demonstrations
2. guided analysis
3. practical datasets
4. interpretation exercises
5. manufacturing-focused examples

The goal is not just running software.

The goal is understanding what the data is telling you.

Interactive Classroom Experience

The training includes live audience interaction using Mentimeter surveys and real-time polling.

This creates:

1. higher engagement
2. faster feedback
3. active participation
4. practical discussion

The classroom environment encourages:

1. questions
2. operational discussion
3. real-world examples
4. practical problem solving

Who Should Attend

This course is ideal for:

1. Manufacturing Engineers
2. Quality Engineers
3. Production Supervisors
4. Process Engineers
5. Continuous Improvement Professionals
6. Operations Managers
7. Supplier Quality Professionals
8. Industrial Engineers
9. Engineering Technicians

No advanced statistics background is required.
