International Six Sigma Black Belt Certification

American Society for Quality (ASQ) BOK Aligned Certification Program

Program Objective

Offer organizations the training of their professionals in Six Sigma, through training and coaching in a course that updates their knowledge and develops the necessary skills in the participant, with a depth degree of 120 hours of training known as Black Belt, to apply the strategy, principles, methodology, tools of Six Sigma in an improvement project previously defined and approved by a senior manager in your organization, thus helping senior management to deploy the strategy of the methodology.

It also seeks to develop the theoretical, conceptual and methodological framework for understanding the principles and strategic elements in the definition of projects and the rigorous application of the Six Sigma strategy in an organization.

As a specific objective, the skills required to manage the techniques and tools that make up the body of knowledge developed in Six Sigma are generated, providing the participants with the DMAIC process improvement methodology, supported by Minitab, a specialized computer program for such purposes. and developing their skills as leaders of Six Sigma work teams.

Audience

This Black Belt training program is aimed at Directors and Quality Engineers, internal auditors, those responsible for service processes, service managers, managers of support areas: information systems, human talent, administration and finance, maintenance, files, etc.), interested in acquiring the knowledge and experience as a leader of Six Sigma projects.

Methodology

It is a theoretical-practical course because in addition to the theoretical study sessions, the pragmatic use of the methodology is taught, supported by statistical software, and the participant is accompanied in the stage of applying knowledge in a specific improvement project.

During the Six Sigma program, each participant must develop a project with a goal that must be achieved in a maximum period of six months. The goals should be measured by the number of times the investment returns. On average, Black Belt projects in Six Sigma have a return of twenty to thirty times the value invested. The participant must attend two theoretical training sessions, each lasting one week. At the end of each week of classes, he returns to his Organization to apply theknowledge acquired during three or four weeks. The global cycle lasts 6 months, the expected date for the completion of the project and the consequent graduation of the participant.

Acosixsigma certification programs are accredited by the Six Sigma Global Registry. With this achievement we offer our clients one of the most prestigious certifications in the world. This adds to the alignment of the certification topics with the Body of Knowledge of the American Society for Quality, which translates into better applications for the participants and a wide repertoire of tools previously not included in the Black Belt and Green Belt certifications. .

FAQ

What is the minimum number of hours in a Green Belt / Black Belt program?

According to the Body of Knowledge (BOK) of the American Society for Quality (ASQ) and the international certification programs recognized by Motorola University and the International Society for Six Sigma Certifications, the minimum hour number of the Six Sigma program is:

  • Green Belt – 80 hours
  • Black Belt – 120 hours

There are a number of Six Sigma programs that are widely marketed and apply only a fraction of the BOK for each level. Acosixsigma is recognized for the large amount of curricular content that applies to all types of industry. For example, the estimated time for a Black Belt certification course is 120 hours, not including additional time allocated to a Six Sigma project. Other providers offer Black Belt training courses totaling 90 hours and Green Belt courses advertised at 56 hours. Therefore the variability in class hours obviously serves as a warning for interested companies to carefully check the subjects when taking a particular course against the established criteria for certification.

What is a Lean / Kaizen / Blitz Event?

A Lean/Kaizen/Blitz Event is an intense effort where the team applies specific Lean approaches to reduce waste, defects, and cycle time and to implement improvements in a particular process or department.

What is Lean Six Sigma?

Lean Six Sigma is an integrated set of methodologies that encompasses both Lean and Six Sigma concepts. It combines two powerful toolsets to address all aspects of quality, cost, and delivery. Both sets of methodologies have a customer and quality focus and are based on continuous improvement, which allows them to be very complementary.
Lean focuses on offering competitively priced products and services by eliminating waste and its drivers, while Six Sigma focuses on minimizing and reducing process variation that causes nonconformities.

How is Lean Six Sigma different from Lean or Six Sigma on its own?

Lean Six Sigma combines the strength and rigor of Six Sigma and data-driven analysis with the simple tools of Lean to eliminate waste and its drivers. The combination of the two methods provides a more robust set of tools for organizations to apply to solve problems, using the tools and techniques that best suit the specific problem at hand. Rather than the traditional independent use of tools, Lean Six Sigma combines Lean approaches into Six Sigma through the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) method, as well as allowing Lean approaches to be used on their own. in the DMAIC model.

How does Lean Six Sigma apply to process improvement?

Process improvement is necessary for the performance of an organization that does not meet customer requirements. Lean Six Sigma offers a comprehensive set of tools, techniques, and approaches to enable an organization to gather customer requirements, analyze existing performance against those requirements, implement solutions to address performance gaps, and maintain best-in-class status. The tools and techniques used are the most appropriate for the specific problem at hand.
