Wiregrass Georgia Technical College Department of Economic Development is offering the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt certification course beginning October 16.  Whether your business produces a good, or provides a service, this course can help your business function at its full potential.  The course is designed to provide knowledge on how a business or industry can become more effective, efficient, and a more productive environment.  The course consists of two segments: “lean” provides ways of cutting waste and helping businesses look at ways to become more efficient.  The “Six Sigma” segment helps with production and using resources already available to you that will improve customer service and affect your bottom line.
 
The Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Courses will meet October 16-19 (Introduction to Lean and Six Sigma, Define and Measure, and Analyze), November 6-9 (Improve, Control, Course Review, and Certification Exam Prep).  Additional online coursework and project work will be required for Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification beyond scheduled courses.  All classes meet from 8:30 a.m. till 4:00 p.m. at Wiregrass Georgia Technical College on the Valdosta Campus.  Lunch will be provided.
