This two-hour introductory session—known as the White Belt level—explores the purpose and benefits of Lean Six Sigma. Participants gain a high-level understanding of the DMAIC problem-solving framework: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control. The session walks through each phase, emphasizing how solutions are tied to root causes and lead to consistent, reliable, and sustainable improvements.
Along the way, participants are introduced to key tools and techniques such as Voice of the Customer, project charters, process mapping, measurement plans, charts, and idea generation strategies. The session also includes a brief overview of Lean principles and how they complement Six Sigma methodologies.

This comprehensive course provides an in-depth exploration of the DMAIC framework, equipping participants with the knowledge and practical skills to apply Lean and Six Sigma methodologies directly to real-world projects. Designed for those leading or supporting process improvement teams, the curriculum emphasizes hands-on application, data-driven analysis, and strategic problem-solving.

Aligned with the Green Belt body of knowledge defined by Washburn University, the program includes approximately 72 hours of classroom instruction, supplemented by targeted homework assignments that reinforce key concepts.

Upon successful completion of all course requirements, participants will receive a certificate from Crimson Corporation recognizing 80 professional development hours
