- February 14-17, 2012: Lean Six Sigma Greenbelt Training
Host: Busch USA
Location: Virginia Beach, VA
Cost: $450 per personSix Sigma Green Belt training provides participants with enhanced problem-solving skills, with an emphasis on the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) model. Six Sigma Green Belt certification helps the employee serve as a trained team member within his or her function-specific area of the organization. This focus allows the Green Belt to work on small, carefully defined Six Sigma projects, requiring less than a Black Belt's full-time commitment to Six Sigma throughout the organization.
The Green Belt has two primary tasks: first, to help successfully deploy Six Sigma techniques, and second, to lead small-scale improvement projects within their respective areas. As a support population, Green Belts can do much of the legwork in gathering data and executing experiments in support of a Black Belt project. They are practitioners that spend approximately 25% of their time on Six Sigma projects of their own or in support of Black Belt projects. During the Six Sigma Green Belt Training you will learn how to use many of the Six Sigma problem-solving methods and statistical tools to contribute to the success of your organization.

"The Courage to Lead a Lean Journey: WHO Before WHAT"
Presented by: Joseph Barto Founder and President of TMG
The best companies are seeking to leverage the “crucible of the recession” to accelerate their “How good can we be?” journey using the Lean tools and methods in the post-recession recovery. The most successful companies have learned Lean is really about engaging people, empowering teams, and changing behaviors in support of continuous improvement. This discussion will provide best practices and lessons learned for those who seek to accelerate their lean implementation journey or revitalizing an existing program by first focusing on people then on process. It is the combination which results in improved business performance.Cost:
