Certified Lean Six Sigma Instructors to teach the course
Learn from Global Training Providers

The organisations, today, seek to provide the best of services and products in a minimum time possible. To do so, it becomes a must that any kind of extra or unwanted processes must be removed. In Japanese terminology, these waste elimination processes are known as ‘muda’ which accomplishes the five tasks – sort, straighten, shine, standardise, sustain.

A Professional with a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification is one who provides these solutions at the highest level. A Lean Six Sigma Black Belt professional leads a group of Green Belt professionals to overcome any such processes and take the organisation forward. We at Pentagon, help the delegates by providing them with this course through the professionals who understand Lean Six Sigma thoroughly.

Course Overview

Ever since World War II, Japan had been devising ways to bring about an economic boom targeted at its recovery. Japan had been following Kaizen business model for this purpose. In 1986, the United States came up with Six Sigma with its first implementation in Motorola Inc. In the 1990’s this was adopted by General Electric also and in the early years of the 21^st Century, Six Sigma and Lean collaborated to bring about Lean Six Sigma.

Lean is a managerial concept that aims at reducing the seven kinds of waste while Six Sigma focuses on reducing processes variations of all sorts thereby helping to link the processes together tightly.

Lean Six Sigma provides various levels of certifications each providing the delegate with a higher understanding of Lean Six Sigma. These certifications are shown in the figure.

Lean Six Sigma

Those delegates who wish to sit for the exam they have taken some training from an authorised/accredited institute, or trainer, though this is not a prerequisite.Again, delegates wishing to sit for the exam must also have a real-world Lean Six Sigma project experience(this is also only recommended and not required).

On completion of the course and the exam, the delegates are certified by the International Association for Six Sigma Certification™ as Belk Belt Certified Professionals. The only third party Certification Association within the Lean Six Sigma Industry is the IASSC.

Exams

The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Exam takes place during the second Friday afternoon at the end of the course. The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Exam contains 150 questions. It a closed book proctored exam that lasts for 4-hours.
