SUMMARY:Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt Fall 2025
DESCRIPTION:Master Black Belts play a critical role in deployment of a successful Lean Six Sigma Program. We are excited to offer this course both in-person and online this spring. The course helps develop three of the competencies every MBB needs: \n\n\n\n\nThe ability to instruct others in LSS tools\, methods and concepts\n\n\n\nThe ability to coach other Belts to help them achieve better results faster\n\n\n\nThe ability to provide deeper understanding of technical concepts and tools\n\n\n\n\nThis is a very rigorous class that solidifies technical ability and classroom mechanics for successful instruction and coaching of candidate Black Belts and Green Belts. Participants will: \n\n\n\n\nDevelop in-depth understanding of LSS tools and methods through extensive technical case studies\, ‘deep dives\,’ and hands-on exercises\n\n\n\nDevelop knowledge of how to deliver classroom training\n\n\n\nBecome more confident as an instructor through practice in a safe environment\n\n\n\nLearn methods for coaching GBs/BBs to help them complete projects faster\n\n\n\n\nCertification as a Master Black Belt is typically a combination of technical training combined with demonstrated application such as instructing / mentoring belts and leading major projects. \n\n\n\nInstructor approval is required prior to registration for this course. Please contact us at (817) 307-0400 or russ.aikman@tmac.org for additional details.  \n\n\n\nPrice: $10\,125\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Spring 2025
DESCRIPTION:TMAC’s Lean Six Sigma Program provides a systematic approach to combine the waste elimination methods of Lean with the variation reduction toolset of Six Sigma.  The DMAIC process provides the overarching structure for project management\, which helps insure that solutions are sustainable. Students learn through a combination of lecture\, student project presentations\, exercises\, case studies\, and simulations. Instructors emphasize practical application of tools and methods. The median payback for TMAC Black Belt projects is $144\,500/year. \n\n\n\nThe LSS Black Belt class is a rigorous course incorporating both Basic and Advanced problem-solving methods. A partial list of tools covered includes value-stream mapping\, Little’s Law\, measurement system analysis\, process control & capability\, hypothesis testing\, kaizen\, pull systems\, regression\, setup reduction\, process balancing\, and design of experiments. \n\n\n\nPrice: $8\,500\n\n\n\n*** group discounts available *** \n\n\n\nAlready have a Green Belt and looking for a quicker certification? Check out our Accelerator Option! \n\n\n\n\nRegister
