Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Training & Certification

In this module, you develop the leadership, facilitation, and change competencies necessary for successful transformation projects.

The Role of the Black Belt

• You sharpen your understanding of your role as a change project leader
• You professionally represent your project to executives and stakeholders

Successful Teamwork & Communication

• You manage group dynamics and conflicts within the project
• You apply targeted facilitation and feedback techniques

Managing Change

• You build acceptance and commitment for your project
• You embed changes sustainably within the system

In this module, you systematically analyze your process and identify the root causes of existing problems.

Analyze

• You visualize your process and analyze it purposefully along workflows, interfaces, and information flows
• You identify sources of waste and systematically examine value-added activities within the process
• You analyze lead times, process times, and efficiency potential based on value and time analysis
• You identify capacity constraints and bottlenecks and assess their impact on overall performance
• You structure and segment data to make patterns and root causes more visible

In this module, you work data-driven to verify root causes and learn to apply statistical methods specifically for decision-making and process optimization.

Advanced Analyze (Focus: Data analysis)

• You translate real-world problems into statistical questions and select the appropriate test to answer them
• You conduct hypothesis tests to systematically verify suspected root causes
• You analyze differences between groups using analysis of variance (ANOVA)
• You examine relationships and effect sizes using correlation and regression analyses
• You plan and structure experiments to systematically identify and optimize influencing factors
• You apply Design of Experiments approaches to efficiently investigate multiple variables simultaneously

In this Black Belt module, you will guide your project from statistical root cause analysis to sustainable implementation and integration.

Improve

• You develop and structure solutions based on verified root causes using Lean and best-practice methods
• You finalize an implementable solution concept and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of your measures
• You plan piloting and implementation and manage execution using appropriate project management approaches

Control

• You document the new process and establish clear standards for implementation (e.g., SOPs)
• You set up KPI-based monitoring with response mechanisms for sustainable control
• You ensure sustainability through handover to the process owner, structured audits, and documented lessons learned

• Supplementary e-learning courses for self-study (5 days)
  You deepen and review your acquired knowledge through self-study with our e-learning formats: before, during, or after the respective training modules
• Final Exam: You validate your knowledge across all modules
  Project Work: You work on an improvement project and apply the newly learned tools and methods
