Course Overview
This is a perfect 'lunch-hour' course. It is incredibly concise but delivers exactly what it promises: a clear, jargon-free explanation of what Lean Six Sigma actually is, giving you the confidence to participate intelligently in company-wide efficiency meetings.
Get introduced to Lean Six Sigma basics to kickstart your continuous improvement journey.
If you have heard colleagues talking about 'reducing defects' or 'root cause analysis' but don't know where to start, the 'Lean Six Sigma: White Belt' is your fast-track introduction. This certificate is designed to rapidly familiarize you with the vocabulary and underlying philosophy of the world’s most popular operational efficiency frameworks. Unlike advanced belts (Green or Black), the White Belt does not require complex statistics. Instead, it focuses on the mindset of change management. You will briefly explore the history of Lean manufacturing at Toyota and the evolution of Six Sigma at Motorola. By the end of this short course, you will understand the basic DMAIC process (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) and appreciate how standardizing a chaotic workflow can dramatically reduce corporate costs and improve customer satisfaction.
- •Study Process & Quality at your own pace, anytime and anywhere.
- •Earn a free certificate from Lean Six Sigma.
- •Accessible on any device (desktop, tablet, or mobile).
