About the course

Businesses today are undergoing radical restructuring as they meet the challenge of improving performance in a world of unprecedented complexity and opportunity. They are required to balance the increasing needs for agility and responsiveness against those for driving down costs and improving cash. Six Sigma is one of the most effective tools to achieve this desired state. Six Sigma professionals are some of the most sought-after individuals because of the value they bring in and their ability to significantly improve the processes and make a positive impact on the organizational goals.

Six Sigma is a structured, data-driven methodology of improving the different processes of an organization to such an extent where it can reduce the defects to only 3.4 per 1 million opportunities. It ensures process stability and perfects processes and activities that add value. Its ability to deliver tangible as well as intangible results is driving its adoption by businesses across the world as part of their operational processes.

The objective of EY’s Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification Course is to make the participants well versed with the concepts of Six Sigma and equip them with the knowledge of various tools — statistical as well as non-statistical — used within the framework of Lean and Six Sigma.
