New River Community College has an upcoming Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training session that can help businesses reduce costs and increase productivity.
Green Belt is a 16-week course that presents the ASQ Lean Six Sigma Green Belt body of knowledge that includes a project simulation taking participants through the define, measure, analyze, improve and control (DMAIC) process improvement methodology. Participants interested in Green Belt certification are required to have three years of industry experience.
Each Green Belt participant will be required to have a job-related and sponsor-approved project which should be selected prior to the start of the class. The course agenda is intended to teach the Six Sigma body of knowledge while leading participants through completion of their individual projects. MTC instructors will provide weekly support to mentor and coach participants through the completion of projects.
According to American Society for Quality, one corporation reported $1.6 million in savings within the first year of implementing a Six Sigma initiative.
The training is held in Christiansburg on Fridays beginning Jan. 23, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
This course is one of NRCC’s FastForward programs, programs that provide affordable, short-term training through the Office of Workforce Development. Virginia residents may qualify for special pricing.
