Description

Turn your commute into Green Belt study time. Join Ben, an experienced Lean Six Sigma practitioner, and Maya, a skeptical learner, as they use realistic workplace stories, exam traps, and memorable recaps to explain DMAIC, Lean waste, value-stream mapping, team decisions, statistics, root-cause analysis, process improvement, control, and exam strategy. Designed for Green Belt candidates who want practical understanding—not just memorized definitions. Independent study resource; not affiliated with or endorsed by AALSSC.

Final Green Belt Exam Gauntlet

2026/08/19

Test your knowledge with a cumulative 60-question Green Belt mock examination. Ben and Maya review Lean, DMAIC, waste, value-stream mapping, project selection, teams, statistics, root-cause analysis, improvement, control, and exam strategy. These are original educational practice questions—not actual certification exam questions.

Fix It, Keep It Fixed, and Pass the Exam

2026/08/19

Finding the cause is not the end of DMAIC. Ben and Maya work through Green Belt scenarios involving solution selection, pilots, implementation, risk, control plans, standard work, monitoring, response plans, and choosing the best next step on the exam.

Stop Fixing Symptoms

2026/08/19

Blaming human error rarely explains why the process permitted the failure. Ben and Maya examine symptoms, contributing factors, direct causes, and root causes using the Five Whys, fishbone diagrams, cause verification, process evidence, and mistake-proofing.

Make the Data Answer the Question

2026/08/19

Statistics should answer process questions—not bury the team in calculations. Ben and Maya explain how Green Belts use Pareto charts, histograms, scatterplots, box plots, control charts, and capability analysis to understand variation, relationships, and process performance.

How Good Teams Decide

2026/08/19

Generating ideas is easy; choosing the right one is harder. Ben and Maya cover brainstorming, affinity diagrams, multivoting, nominal group technique, prioritization matrices, and consensus while showing how to select the correct team tool for an exam scenario.

The People Problem

2026/08/19

A technically perfect solution can still fail when the people affected by it refuse to adopt it. Ben and Maya explore stakeholder engagement, resistance to change, communication, participation, and why lasting improvement requires both technical quality and human acceptance.

Map the Flow and Read the Clock

2026/08/19

Ben and Maya build a value-stream map and explain the measurements that determine whether work is truly flowing. Learn cycle time, lead time, processing time, waiting time, takt time, bottlenecks, work in process, and current-versus-future-state mapping.

Learning to See Waste

2026/08/19

Waste often hides inside work that people have accepted as normal. Ben and Maya examine the eight wastes of Lean and explain how to distinguish value-added, business-required, and non-value-added activities while avoiding common exam traps.

Why Lean Six Sigma Works

2026/08/19

Why do some process improvements last while others disappear? Ben introduces Maya to Lean Six Sigma and explains how Lean, Six Sigma, and DMAIC work together. Learn the foundations of customer value, process thinking, variation, defects, waste, project goals, and the Green Belt’s role.
