Lean Six Sigma Orange Belt

Lean Six Sigma Orange Belts actively tackle improvements. They lead small improvement projects in their immediate work environment and make a valuable contribution as team members to larger Green or Black Belt projects. The Orange Belt is therefore the logical step for anyone who wants to go beyond awareness and get started with process improvement themselves.

In this training, you will learn to identify and apply the most important Lean and Six Sigma principles. You will work with practical tools for process mapping, data visualisation, and problem solving. Through a Lean simulation game and a practical case study, you will translate the theory directly to your own work environment.

Who is this training for?

The Lean Six Sigma Orange Belt is suitable for every employee who is directly or indirectly involved in process improvement and wants to go a step further than the Yellow Belt.

This training is suitable for:

• Operators and production staff
• Engineers and process improvers
