Program Description

A Certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt (CLSSBB) is among the most sought-after professional skills in any industry today.  As a Lean Sis Sigma Black Belt, your expertise of Lean Six Sigma techniques and strategies can significantly contribute to the organization’s bottom line and more importantly, meet customer expectations.

Lean Six Sigma addresses the best of both worlds, Lean (identification and elimination of waste), and Six Sigma (elimination of variation and defects).  As a Black Belt, you will lead and mentor other colleagues in a Continuous Improvement Program, work with management and process owners to identify opportunities for improvement project initiatives and manage a portfolio of Lean Six Sigma projects consistent with business strategy needs.

Typically, a full-time position, the LSSBB plays a significant role with a focus on improving quality, productivity, cost reduction, and revenue.
