Following Week One of the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt to Black Belt Upgrade program, you have six weeks to apply what you have learned so far as a Black Belt. During this time, your Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt instructor is available via phone and email for questions and to help with your Black Belt certification project.

Week Two of training includes additional advanced statistical techniques that are part of the skill set of every successful Lean Six Sigma Black Belt. Techniques such as regression and correlation, design of experiments (DOE) and nonparametric tests are covered.

In addition, the training includes advanced methods for determining sample size, and maintaining optimal process performance using Statistical Process Control (SPC). Advanced Lean techniques such as Kanban, Mistake Proofing and SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die) are also covered in detail, as well as advanced change management techniques.
