Six Sigma Green Belt Certification
Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven methodology for reducing variation in any process. The Six Sigma methodology--driven by the DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve, control) process--is executed by Six Sigma green belts, Six Sigma black belts, and overseen by Six Sigma master black belts. Green belt training participants receive a subset of the more advanced black belt training course, with an emphasis on developing a structured problem-solving strategy for addressing business improvement projects by using intermediate quality tools within the Six Sigma methodology.
- Introduction to Six Sigma history, applications, benefits, and the DMAIC methodology
- Define phase
- Define tools- matrix diagrams, work breakdown structures, pareto diagrams, histograms, process mapping, value stream mapping, flow charts, trend charts, financial analysis, and the supplier-input-process-output-customer (SIPOC) technique
- Project selection tips
- Measure phase
- Measuring approaches- house of quality, teams in action, process baseline definition, benchmarking
- Tools for measuring- basic statistics, box whisker plots, cause and effect diagrams, check sheets, interrelation diagrams, process capability and performance indices, goodness-of-fit tests
- Measurement system analysis- gage stability, linearity, repeatability & reproducibility analysis
- Analyze phase
- Statistical analysis methods- analysis of variance (ANOVA), design of experiments (DOE)
- Lean enterprise methods
- Statistical analysis with Minitab software
- Improve phase
- Cost of poor quality
- Tools used to improve- pareto & prioritization matrix, failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA), process decision program charts (PDPC)
- Preventing failures
- Control phase
- Control tools- statistical process control (SPC) charts, process capability studies
- Maintaining improvements- measuring and realizing bottom line impact, applying knowledge elsewhere
In addition to lecture material, this course utilizes various forms of hands-on simulations, exercises, and case studies to demonstrate Six Sigma concepts. The course also utilizes and demonstrates the use of Minitab software applications for statistical analysis.
This course includes a Six Sigma green belt certification exam, to be administered on the last day of the training.
$25,000 for entire class (If you would like to book an entire class, ATN can schedule to your convenience.)
$2,600 per person for open enrollment.

Six Sigma Black Belt Certification
Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven methodology for reducing variation in any process. The Six Sigma methodology--driven by the DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve, control) process--is executed by Six Sigma green belts, Six Sigma black belts, and overseen by Six Sigma master black belts. The black belt course has two distinct parts: the in-class portion and a project. The in-class portion consists of four full weeks of lectures, exercises and team-learning competitions.
Week One
- The Organizational Value of Six Sigma
- Introduction to Statistical Software
- Calculate DPU, RTY and DPMO Sigma Levels
- Project Planning
- Process Mapping
- Basic Probability Concepts
- Analyzing Process Capability
- Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA)
- Statistical Process Control (SPC)
- Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility (R&R)
Week Two
- Probability and Statistics
- Properties and Applications of Prob. Dist.
- Hypothesis Testing
- Levels of Significance, Power, Type I & II Errors
- Point and Interval Estimation
- Correlation Analysis
- Simple Linear and Multiple Regression
Week Three
- Design of Experiments (DOE)
- Randomized Blocks
- Full Factorial Experiments
- 2-Level Fractional Factorial Experiments
- Mixture Experiments
- Response Surface Methodology
- DOE Exercises and Competition
Week Four
- Apply Financial Benefits
- Advanced SPC
- Analysis of Control Charts
- Implementation of Control Charts
- Lean Enterprise/Lean Tools
- Design for Six Sigma
- Managing Change in the Organization
In addition to lecture material, this course utilizes various forms of hands-on simulations, exercises, and case studies to demonstrate Six Sigma concepts. The course also utilizes and demonstrates the use of Minitab software applications for statistical analysis.
Six Sigma Black Belt Certification requires the successful completion of a project in a real-world environment. The project must be approved by the instructor, will be implemented over the course of the training, and should demonstrate the application of black belt-level Six Sigma tools.
$9580 per person, plus:
Minitab Statistical Software required. If you do not own this software, a student version may be purchased for $189.00 through our offices by contacting Dr. Sampson Gholston.
