The Ohio State University at Lima will offer an online Lean Six Sigma Green Belt for Manufacturing and Engineering course beginning in August 2025. The course will provide a broad exposure to topics in quality improvement that encompass the body of knowledge for Six Sigma Green Belts in both manufacturing, engineering and service industries, including hospitals, banks, and retailers. Essential concepts, practices, methods and tools for quality improvement, lean management, and effective teamwork are examined, along with the Six Sigma DMAIC problem-solving approach – define, measure, analyze, improve and control. Students will be equipped to help organizations achieve operational excellence by applying what is learned within an improvement project case study.
The asynchronous course will be delivered online with a defined beginning and ending date. Students will complete online modules independently with fixed due dates for assignments. Frequent opportunities to interact with class peers and the instructor will be provided.
After successfully completing both the didactic and project sections of the course, students will earn a Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certificate from The Ohio State University. This course will provide a broad exposure to topics in quality improvement and is intended to focus on the understanding and application of tools for the improvement of quality in various (manufacturing, service-based, etc) organizations. After finishing the program, students will understand the philosophy and basic concepts of lean management and Six Sigma and how to use statistical elements of Six Sigma to improve processes.
