​

  • The SSMI® Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Programme-of-Study is intended to develop technical & business leaders that are capable of propelling their respective organization toward best-in-class status by reducing cost, improving cycle times, eliminating defects & variation and significantly increasing customer satisfaction.

​

  • Black Belts are highly trained practitioners who possess the technical knowledge and skills that are necessary to facilitate breakthrough improvements in key processes that support the overall business aims and operational goals of an enterprise. 

​

  • Most of today's Lean Six Sigma programmes are delivered by the 6th or 7th generation of practitioners, which has lead to inconsistency in programme delivery and misinterpretation. In contrast, SSMI Lean Six Sigma programme provides participants with the correct understanding of the foundations and underlining principals governing the subject.
