This certificate confirms that the holder has completed the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt training program delivered as part of the postgraduate studies "Lean Green Manufacturing – Process Optimization and Sustainable Enterprise Development" at the Poznań University of Economics and Business (UEP), in cooperation with Open Horizon Consulting Sp. z o.o. Sp. k.
The training program was developed in line with the international standards ISO 18404:2015 and ISO 13053:2011, which define competency requirements for Lean and Six Sigma professionals and the standard for conducting DMAIC-based improvement projects (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control).
Format and duration
● classroom and live online + 14 hours of e-learning
Curriculum highlights
● Lean Management fundamentals and the philosophy of continuous improvement (Kaizen)
● The 7+1 types of waste and waste identification
● Value Stream Mapping, Makigami mapping, Lead/Cycle/Processing Time analysis
● Lean tools: Kanban, SMED, TPM, Poka-Yoke, Jidoka, Standardization, 5S
● Problem-solving methods: PDCA, 8D, A3 Report, DMAIC
● Six Sigma fundamentals and the DMAIC cycle
● Define phase — Project Charter, SIPOC, Voice of the Customer (VOC)
● Measure phase — metrics design, CTQ tree, data collection planning, detailed process mapping (Flow Chart, BPMN 2.0)
● Analyse phase — root cause analysis (Ishikawa Diagram, 5-Why, Pareto Diagram), FMEA (PFMEA/DFMEA), Minitab statistical analysis: process stability, capability (Cp, Cpk), correlation, regression, hypothesis tests, sampling
● Improve phase — Design of Experiments (DOE, full factorial designs), idea generation techniques (brainstorming, SCAMPER, Six Thinking Hats, decision matrix, MoSCoW, How-How diagram), 5S implementation, implementation planning and project management (implementation plan, schedule, RACI matrix, responsibility assignment and progress monitoring, communication rules, progress reporting and deviation management), pilot testing, process standardization, error-proofing (Poka-Yoke, Jidoka, Andon)
● Control phase — process capability and project benefits assessment, process control plan, control charts for continuous data (X-bar R, X-bar-S) and attribute data (u, c, np, p charts), process auditing, project closure and documentation archiving
