TMAC’s Lean Six Sigma Program provides a systematic approach to dramatically improve cost, quality, and delivery. The course combines the strengths of today’s two most powerful business initiatives, Lean and Six Sigma, into one integrated program.

The DMAIC process provides the overarching structure for project management, helping ensure solutions are sustainable. Students learn through a combination of lecture, student project presentations, exercises, case studies, and simulations. Experienced instructors emphasize practical application of tools and provide coaching on student projects.

Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Schedule:

• Week 1: February 6-10
• Week 2: March 6-10

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 $150,000/year.

The 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.

Week 1: February 6-10

Week 2: March 6-10

Week 3: April 3-7

Week 4: May 1-5

In response to companies being too busy to send employees to training, we want to offer an alternative Green Belt option for local Metroplex and Texas companies. We are calling it the 4×2 Green Belt. The class design will minimize time away from the office, but not reduce the quality of the class or the value of your certification.

Lean Six Sigma 4×2 Green Belt Schedule:

• Session 1: February 7-8
• Session 2: February 21-22
• February 23 – Half day for Mid-term Quiz
• Session 3: March 7-8
• Session 4: March 21-22
• March 28 – Half day for Final Exam

Master Black Belts play a critical role in deployment of a successful Lean Six Sigma Program. This course helps develop three of the competencies every MBB needs:

1. The ability to instruct others in LSS tools, methods and concepts
2. The ability to coach other Belts to help them achieve better results faster
3. The ability to provide deeper understanding of technical concepts and tools

This 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:

• Develop in-depth understanding of LSS tools and methods through extensive technical case studies, ‘deep dives,’ and hands-on exercises
• Develop knowledge of how to deliver classroom training
• Become more confident as an instructor through practice in a safe environment
• Learn methods for coaching GBs/BBs to help them complete projects faster

NOTE: MBB candidates must be certified LSS Black Belts to qualify for this course.

Week 1: February 20 – 24, 2023

Week 2: March 27 – 31, 2023

Week 3: April 24 – 28, 2023

To accommodate busy schedules, we are offering an accelerated Lean Six Sigma Black Belt class for certified Green Belts* who need to spend less time away from the office, but still want to increase their continuous improvement skill set. (*Registration subject to approval by instructors)

Lean Six Sigma Accelerated Black Belt is a 2 week class (1 week every month for 2 consecutive months).

LSS Black Belt Schedule:

Week 3: April 3 – 7

Week 4: May 1 – 5
