Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification Series
Proven, hands-on, blended approach to learning (with many group discussions, exercises, and case studies) that includes live, instructor-led virtual classroom session.
Latest on enterprise process improvement trends, concepts, and implementation strategies.
Up-to-date reference/course materials.
Apply a proven, structured approach to Lean Six Sigma, including how to apply our methodology in today’s Virtual Environment.
Presenters with actual experience in the area of Lean manufacturing, Six Sigma process analysis, and business process management.
Each student receives lifetime, unlimited access to Mountain Home’s Learning Resource Center (LRC).
The attendee will learn how Business process management (BPM) brings a much needed perspective to the process improvement effort by defining enterprise processes that cross the many functional and departmental boundaries and produce the products and services of the organization. This ability to define an enterprise context allows the Lean Six Sigma team to focus on problems that affect the entire system, not just one small part of it. By bringing together the synergistic power of Business Process Management (BPM)and Lean with the statistical discipline and rigor of Six Sigma, an organization will be able to bring its entire problem solving knowledge to bear in a multi-dimensioned way, ensuring a greater probability of success!
The intent of the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification is to develop team members who have the basic skills to contribute to process improvement projects. These individuals operate under the watchful eye of the project team leader who is normally a more advanced Black Belt or senior process improvement practitioner.
Our seasoned corporate trainers are process improvement experts who use a myriad of learning techniques and tools, such as guided discussions, case studies, individual exercises, quizzes, and outside readings to truly connect with the student. The following is an outline of what a typical Lean Six Sigma Green Belt would learn over our two (2) week, intensive training program.
Individuals who are looking for an in-depth, working knowledge of Lean Six Sigma concepts, techniques and tools.
- An in-depth understanding of Enterprise Process Management and Improvement.
- A comprehensive immersion into the integrated Lean Six Sigma and Business Process Management (BPM) methodology (DMAIC) for process improvement.
- The various roles Lean Six Sigma Green Belts and other team members play in the success of a process improvement effort using Lean Six Sigma.
- How to properly define and scope Lean Six Sigma projects from an enterprise-wide context.
- How to model and map organization processes for practical analysis, including product and process flows, and value streams.
- Define appropriate data collection methods.
- How to apply statistical analysis tools to problem solving.
- An introduction to Value Added Analysis (VAA).
- An introduction to Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA).
- How to use statistics software to analyze Lean Six Sigma project data.
- How to transition from the As-Is state to the To-Be state and an overview of business case analysis.
- Overview of an organization (culture & structure) change management plan and technology change management plan.
- An overview of statistical process control.

Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification Series
Proven, hands-on, blended approach to learning (with many group discussions, exercises, and case studies) that includes classroom participation and the use of Mountain Home’s online resources.
Latest on government process improvement trends, concepts, and implementation strategies.
Up-to-date reference/course materials.
Apply a proven, structured approach to Lean Six Sigma.
Presenters with actual experience in the area of Lean manufacturing, Six Sigma process analysis, and business process management.

This ability to define an enterprise context allows the Lean Six Sigma team to focus on problems that affect the entire system, not just one small part of it. By bringing together the synergistic power of Business Process Management (BPM)and Lean with the statistical discipline and rigor of Six Sigma, an organization will be able to bring its entire problem solving knowledge to bear in a multi-dimensioned way, ensuring a greater probability of success! A participant in this course will benefit greatly through:
The intent of the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification is to develop team leaders who have the experience and advanced skills to lead Lean Six Sigma process improvement projects. These individuals not only lead the process improvement effort but they also mentor and coach team members, such as Lean Six Sigma Green Belts, throughout the project. The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt is an advanced practitioner who not only understands how to use the various tools in the Lean Six Sigma tool bag, but also knows when and where to use them. They are more than a statistician, they are a well rounded process improvement expert who is able to bring a myriad of approaches to the problem.
Our seasoned corporate trainers are process improvement experts who use a myriad of learning techniques and tools, such as guided discussions, case studies, individual exercises, quizzes, and outside readings to truly connect with the student. We offer two options for an individual wanting to participate in Mountain Home’s Lean Six Sigma BLACK Belt Certification.
Option 1: If the individual has not completed the MHi Lean Six Sigma GREEN Belt Certification, he/she would be required to complete all four (4) weeks of the BLACK Belt curriculum. The first two weeks of the curriculum is the MHi GREEN Belt Certification training series where the basics of Business Process Management and Lean Six Sigma are taught. The second two weeks is a much more intensive, advanced learning experience whereby the attendee would begin to actually apply the concepts taught in the GREEN Belt curriculum, as well as learn how to manage and lead Lean Six Sigma projects, use advanced statistical analysis techniques and tools, build the project business case, and establish an integrated process control structure.
Option 2: If the individual has completed the MHi Lean Six Sigma GREEN Belt Certification, he/she would only be required to complete the last two (2) weeks of the BLACK Belt curriculum. The following is an outline of what a typical Lean Six Sigma Black Belt would learn over our two (2) week, intensive training program. This program builds on the foundational learning from Mountain Home’s Lean SixSigma GREEN Belt curriculum.
In addition, all participants would be required to present an actual project using the concepts, techniques, and tools taught during the certification course and successfully pass the MHi BLACK Belt Certification exam before he/she would receive the title of a certified MHi Lean Six Sigma BLACK Belt.
