Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Project

The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt project is completed at the candidate’s work site and requires a significant commitment of time. Mastery of concepts and strong ROI to the organization must be demonstrated and achieved. It is critical to the project’s success that the right management individual or team within the candidate’s organization is recruited to support the project. This management individual or team and the faculty mentor will assist with selecting and overseeing the project for long term sustainment. Project review and a site visit by the faculty mentor are an integral part of the development of candidate’s critical thinking and proficient application of appropriate concepts and methods to work place dilemmas.

The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Project has three deliverables:

  1. Project description and justification
  2. Project tools and results
  3. Management report
