SUMMARY:Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Spring 2026
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\nSchedule: \n\n\n\n\nWeek 1: February 16-20\n\n\n\nWeek 2: March 23-27\n\n\n\nWeek 3: APR 20-24\n\n\n\nWeek 4: MAY 18-22\n\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?
