IMPACT Lean Six Sigma Green Belt Certification An extensive workshop was conducted by SSA Business solutions from 21st to 24th August, 2014 at SIMSR providing the students a lucid understanding of the concepts related to Lean Six Sigma. The course outline was spread across 4 days wherein students were exposed to several statistical tools and models in the field of Operations Management. The workshop was designed in such a manner so as to provide a holistic view about Lean manufacturing combined with Six Sigma processes. This included an understanding of the changing business scenario and developments, introduction to Lean Six Sigma and the 'RDMAIC' approach to process improvements. Finally upon the completion of the 4 day workshop, a test was conducted by SSA based on the study material provided. Students securing 75% and above were conferred with Green Belt Certification in Six Sigma. 25 students spread across all streams of management (marketing, finance, operations, retail and communications) were awarded the certificate on successfully completing the course and passing the examination.
