The requirements for the Lean Green Belt practical exam are as follows:

  • The project has a significant impact on the organization. This means it has a financial impact of at least €20,000 annually or some other relevant CTQ is improved (e.g. lead time). (A 5S implementation or a small Kaizen project is not enough).

The project will be reviewed by Master Black Belts assigned by the LSSA. We recommend that the project be reviewed by an internal Lean Black Belt or Master Black Belt before submission. The result of the practical assessment will be pass (pass) or fail (fail). No score is given. In the case of a failing grade, brief feedback will be given regarding criteria considered “missing” or “incorrect. Then the project can be resubmitted once.
