A Certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt is a professional equipped with a sound understanding of the Lean Six Sigma methodology, capable of contributing to and leading focused improvement projects across various industries. Green Belts usually work in a part-time capacity on these projects while maintaining their regular job responsibilities. They play a vital role in supporting Black Belt-led projects and may also lead smaller-scale projects.

Green Belts are proficient in the DMAIC methodology – Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. Their training allows them to identify issues, collect data, assess processes, uncover root causes, and facilitate the implementation of effective solutions. They are skilled in project management, leveraging tools and techniques to coordinate team efforts and attain project objectives.

Lean Six Sigma Green Belts are trained in using statistical tools and software for data analysis and result interpretation. They are familiar with standard Six Sigma tools like process mapping, Pareto charts, cause-and-effect diagrams, and statistical process control charts to detect process variation and reduce defects.

Green Belts are also competent in applying Lean principles such as value stream mapping, 5S, and Kaizen to optimize processes, eliminate waste, and improve flow. They possess problem-solving skills and are trained in techniques like Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), and Root Cause Analysis (RCA).

Lean Six Sigma Green Belts at the Pyzdek Institute complete 100 hours of training (including homework assignments), pass a proctored, comprehensive, timed exam, and present a real-world project to a Pyzdek Institute certified Master Black Belt or Thomas Pyzdek himself.
