Enhance Your Lean Six Sigma Knowledge

Take your Lean Six Sigma education to the next level by earning your Black Belt Certification through the Georgia Tech Scheller College of Business.

“The program sharpened my understanding of waste beyond obvious inefficiencies. It emphasized looking at non-value-added activities through the lens of the customer or end user. This shift in mindset has made me more thoughtful about eliminating steps or tasks that don’t contribute meaningfully to outcomes.”

– Natasha Poularikas Director, Master of Science in Supply Chain Management, The University of Oklahoma
