Content
The structure of this six-day training program is designed to guide you step-by-step through the mastery of the DMAIC cycle. Each phase is essential to ensuring the success of your project delivery and improving the quality of your deliverables. Each training day covers one stage of the methodology: Define – Measure – Analyze – Improve – Control.
The training is also focused on applying concepts to a real-world case. After each day, participants will have practical assignments to complete. This will allow them to carry out an improvement project throughout the training, providing hands-on experience with every concept learned.
The Lean Six Sigma methodology content is divided as follows:

Day 1: Define Phase ("D")
On this first day, participants familiarize themselves with the Lean Six Sigma methodology. They cover all the concepts necessary to properly define and plan the project.
Topics covered:
- What a successful continuous improvement project looks like: a concrete example;
- How to explain the importance of continuous improvement for professionals;
- History and principles of Lean Management and Six Sigma;
- Developing an improvement culture and identifying roles essential to a project's success;
- Step-by-step planning and defining an improvement project; how to choose the process to work on, solve the problem, and track the project.
Practical work: Synthesis of concepts to define responsibilities, choose the process, and set objectives in a project charter.
Day 2: Measure Phase – Part 1 ("M")
Participants cover measurement tools to make the problem visible within the value chain, combining mapping and field observations.
- Using measurement tools to better understand the scope of the problem;
- Choosing the right level and the right mapping tool for the project;
- Illustrating a department's activities through mapping steps and sub-steps;
- Mastering cross-functional flowcharts (swimlanes) for transactional processes;
- Observing tasks to better understand their efficiency.
Practical work: Using a mapping tool within the context of your professional project.
Day 3: Measure Phase – Part 2 ("M") and Analyze Phase ("A")
Addressing Six Sigma analysis tools to identify the root cause of the problem and resolve it permanently.
- Identifying, collecting, and leveraging the data required for the project;
- How to quantify qualitative situations and improve service processes;
- Differentiating between value-added tasks and non-value-added tasks (waste);
- Analyzing sources of delays and searching for the root cause of a problem.
Practical work: Drafting a comprehensive questionnaire and choosing a cause-identification tool.
Day 4: Improve Phase ("I")
Designing innovative solutions to improve productivity and significantly reduce lead times.
- Facilitating Kaizen workshops and involving employees in problem-solving;
- Flow optimization (Just-in-Time, Kanban, SMED) and 5S reorganization.
Practical work: Selecting and applying a method to develop your solutions.
Day 5: Control Phase ("C")
Ensuring smooth implementation and sustaining the gains from your Green Belt training.
- Change management, process transition, and team training;
- Implementing visual management and operational tracking (Scrum).
Practical work: Designing the deployment plan and long-term gain tracking.
Day 6: Project Presentation and Certification
At the end of the training, participants present their approach. This exchange deepens learning by showcasing the application of tools in various contexts. This presentation allows the participant to obtain their Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certificate.
