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.

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?
