Certify your team, together.

01 — Foundations

White Belt

A shared language for the whole floor, with no experience assumed and no statistics background required.

• 01

  The DMAIC cycle

  Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control — the frame every project here runs inside, at a level anyone can follow.

• 02

  The 8 wastes

  Motion, waiting, overproduction — named inside the work they already do every day.

• 03

  Basic data literacy

  Reading variation without a statistics background, so a number on a board means something.

• 04

  Visual management

  Making a problem visible at a glance, right where the work sits.

After the class: they spot issues in their own work and feed them up to the people running the project.

02 — Apply the methods

Green Belt

Training, then a project they run themselves — on a real problem pulled out of your operation, not a case study.

• 01

  Value stream mapping

  The process as it runs today, waits included — not the version in the binder.

• 02

  Root cause analysis

  5 Whys and fishbone. Why it happens, not only what shows up at the end of the line.

• 03

  Measurement system analysis

  Whether the numbers can be trusted before anyone acts on them.

• 04

  Process capability

  Whether the process can hit the spec that matters, on a repeat basis.

After the class: they run a project in their own area — data, a test, and proof the change held — usually alongside their regular job.

03 — Lead initiatives

Black Belt

Training, then a project they lead. Run the work, coach the people running theirs, and own the numbers that go up.

• 01

  Kaizen facilitation

  A team event that redesigns one process while the work is still live.

• 02

  Design of experiments

  Several factors at once, to see what moves the result.

• 03

  Statistical process control

  Keeping the process in control long after the change is in.

• 04

  Leading teams through change

  Getting a floor to adopt a new way of working, which is where most projects fail.

After the class: they lead the project, mentor the Green Belts, and own the numbers that go up to leadership.
