Course description
Black Belt certification is a two step process that combines classroom learning and project work. Following completion of coursework at UT, the candidate will work with a faculty mentor to complete a project directly related to his/her workplace.
The Lean Six Sigma Black Belt project is completed at the candidate’s work site and requires a significant commitment of time. Mastery of concepts and strong ROI to the organization must be demonstrated and achieved. It is critical to the project’s success that the right management individual or team within the candidate’s organization is recruited to support the project. This management individual or team and the faculty mentor will assist with selecting and overseeing the project for long term sustainment. Project review and a site visit by the faculty mentor are an integral part of the development of candidate’s critical thinking and proficient application of appropriate concepts and methods to work place dilemmas.
