Master Lean Six Sigma with practical Excel and Minitab tools. Prepare for certification success.

What you'll learn

By the end of this course, you will have hands-on experience with key Lean Six Sigma tools like Fishbone Diagrams, Pareto Charts, and Regression Analysis

Learn how to use real-world data to identify root causes of inefficiencies, perform statistical analyses, and develop practical solutions to optimize processes

Gain the skills to define, measure, analyze, improve, and control business processes with a structured approach

This course will not only equip you with practical knowledge but also thoroughly prepare you for the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification exam

Requirements

While this course is beginner-friendly, a fundamental knowledge of business operations or workflows will help you grasp the concepts more quickly.
