FORMATION
Become a Green Belt – #61
5,950.00 € HT
Context
If you want to deploy the Six Sigma approach and lead strategic projects to reduce the variability of your industrial or service processes or if you want to make your functional managers and process pilots evolve towards a Green Belt qualification (*) through EURO-SYMBIOSE’s training and expertise.
(*) The Green Belt qualification can only be granted by Euro-Symbiose under the following conditions :
- Successful completion of the knowledge test (MCQ) conducted on the last day of the training.
Objectives
- Understand your role as a Green Belt facilitator and leader of Six Sigma improvement teams
- Know how to characterize a Green Belt Six Sigma project (charter and contract)
- Know how to build and lead effectively a team around a Six Sigma project.
- Understand and apply the DMAIC project approach
- Know how to use quality tools and simple statistical techniques at different stages of the process
- Know how to present the progress of your Six Sigma project to the Champion in a concise and complete manner
Recommanded for
- Operational or functional managers in charge of improving process performance.
Prerequisites
No prerequisites.
Pedagogy
- The steps of the method and the tools are taught on the basis of a case study.
- Exercises are used to train participants in their role as project team leaders.
During this training, it is recommended that participants apply the concepts and tools taught during the intersession on a Six Sigma project of their organization; a feedback is done at the beginning of the second week.
- During the DMAIC steps, computer supports are provided and used (excel files) in order to allow the formalization of the results (chart, SIPOC, CTQ Matrix, …) and the use of simple statistical tools (control chart, capability…)
This training is offered in several sessions: 2 sessions of 2 days and 2 sessions of 3 days.
Evaluation mode
- Knowledge test (MCQ 60 questions) over approximately 2 hours
Course materials
- Participant file containing the presentations delivered during the training and the exercise materials.

Evaluation of the training
Hervé WALLERICH - SEITA
” Exciting, lively and illustrated training ! Well structured and dense, very useful for the future and in line with my expectations.”
Ouided DE HEAULME - ATR
” What I liked the most during this training is above all Valerie’s mastery of the subject, which had the immediate consequence of allowing me to find this training very clear, practical and adaptable to practical cases in my company. I never had the feeling that the concepts were abstract and would be good to put in a closet at the end of the training, because Valerie always made sure to bring all the principles to school cases. Moreover, the content of the training was totally adapted to the level of the group and alternated in a very balanced way theory and practical exercises. Finally, the homogeneity of the group was also one of the strong points. “
Geneviève GONIN-LANES - DASSAULT AVIATION
” This training was very interesting, very rich. The facilitator masters her subject and has a lot of experience, which contributes considerably to the training. The strong points are in the setting in situation which makes it possible to assimilate the principles.”
Christophe ARNAL - AERAZUR ZODIAC
” We were impressed by the quantity of tools, methodologies and statistical knowledge necessary to deploy a 6 Sigma approach and we praised our trainer, Valérie Le Couëdic, for mastering them. Personally, I found that the final exam, which was very complete, was a real evaluation of the knowledge acquired. I particularly appreciated this training for its content, its course and also for the richness of the various exchanges that we were able to share with the participants, all of whom came from the aeronautical sector and for whom the customer/supplier divide in our daily relations was totally erased.”
