Program Overview: What is Lean Six Sigma Black Belt?
Lean Six Sigma Black Belt is an instructor-led program for operations, quality, and HSE teams that need Black Belt level improvement capability. Your team learns the full DMAIC cycle: defining projects that matter, validating measurement systems, finding true root causes with data, improving with design of experiments, and locking in gains with control plans. It builds the skills that cut defects, rework, and variation, closing with a full DMAIC capstone project.
Training pairs statistical instruction with hands-on analysis in every module. Learners charter real projects, validate their own measurement systems, run root cause analysis on live process data, and design experiments with instructor coaching. Mistake proofing and control plans are drafted with detailed feedback, and every statistical claim is defended. The program ends with the Black Belt capstone, where each participant completes a full DMAIC project on a real process.
Defects and variation are a tax most organizations pay without seeing: rework, scrap, incidents, and the slow bleed of inconsistent output. Teams blame effort when the system is at fault. This program gives teams the Black Belt discipline to prove causes with data, implement improvements that hold, and convert waste into measurable savings.
The capstone is a complete Black Belt DMAIC project run on a process from the participant's own operation. It includes the project charter, the measurement system analysis, the root cause evidence, the designed improvements with before-and-after data, and the control plan with mistake proofing. Defended to the instructor and cohort, the project goes back as a working asset: documented savings, a control plan that keeps the gains, and a Black Belt level practitioner the organization can deploy on the next hard problem.
Six modules and 24 hours: foundations, Define and Measure, analysis, DOE and improvement, statistical control, and a capstone DMAIC project. Every module pairs concepts with a guided lab, so each technique is practiced on realistic data, scheduled around your calendar.

Defend DMAIC Improvements Through Measurement, Experiments, and Statistical Evidence
Edstellar develops Black Belt capability through a complete DMAIC project and rigorous analytical practice. Participants charter a problem, validate measurement, and investigate causes with hypothesis tests and regression before designing experiments. The final storyboard connects improvement and control decisions, reviewed for statistical reasoning, tollgate evidence, and the sustainability of the proposed process controls.
- Step 01
Consult
We assess process-data experience, statistics and spreadsheet comfort, and potential project problems to identify the support needed for measurement analysis, experimentation, and DMAIC leadership.
- Step 02
Plan
We establish CTQs and project scope before gauge R&R and data collection, then connect hypothesis testing, regression, factorial experiments, and SPC in the full DMAIC project.
- Step 03
Align
We align advanced process-improvement and statistical expertise with operations, quality, engineering, and logistics participants, confirming appropriate datasets and analytical tools for the project's tollgate work.
- Step 04
Customize
We adapt sample process and measurement datasets to familiar defect problems, retaining variation and experimental factors that require defensible analysis rather than assumed causes.
- Step 05
Execute
Participants run measurement studies, test hypotheses, design experiments, and build control charts, receiving feedback on statistical assumptions, interpretation, countermeasures, and mistake-proofing and control plans.
- Step 06
Evaluate
We assess the DMAIC storyboard and tollgate defense for trustworthy measurement, supported causal analysis, justified experimental conclusions, and controls linked to the demonstrated improvement.
