Course Description
Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) Black Belt training supplements traditional Lean Six Sigma tools training. In this training, an IEE Master Black will provide eight one-to-two-hour Zoom sessions with the student at an agreed-to time.
Students MUST complete significant pre-work assignments before each of these Zoom sessions. The pre-work of each lesson session will consist of reading sections of books (included as part of this training), reading articles, watching videos, and answering quiz questions.
The Zoom sessions will focus on questions that the student has about their pre-work assignments and how the described methodology in each lesson is applicable in their Organization.
IEE Black Belt Training Objectives and Overview
There may be references in this IEE Black Belt training as IEE EPRS Expert Training. This IEE Black Belt training (or referenced IEE EPRS Expert training) is for those who have a basic understanding of Lean Six Sigma tools.
