Master Black Belt Certification Programme

Become a Competent Person to Turn Challenges into Profit

Introduction

Six Sigma, Lean and TOC (Theory of Constraints) are well recognized over the world as effective methodologies for rapid financial results. The SSI’s MBB course covers a comprehensive knowledge of these methodologies and aims to develop Master Black Belts (MBBs) who are competent to employ these tools and able to elevate organizational performance rapidly.

A qualified MBB who is usually in a senior position of an organization should have knowledge and skills to provide advice to the senior management in achieving dramatic performance improvements and producing a demonstrable return on investment. On top of providing business improvement solutions, the MBB is also a Six Sigma leader in the organization and act as trainer and coach to Black Belts and Green Belts within the organization.

Upon completion of the MBB program, participants should have acquired:

  • Six Sigma deployment and management skills for successful implementation and sustain the scheme in an organization.
  • Training skills for conducting in-house Green Belt and Black Belt courses.
  • Project coaching and Management skills to ensure project completion.
  • Advanced lean and Six Sigma tools and capabilities useful in daily Lean and Six Sigma projects.
  • Mentoring skills to achieve results, transfer knowledge more effectively.
  • Ability to use SSI’s TOCLSS (Theory of Constraint + Lean + Six Sigma) (pronounce as TOP-CLASS approach for providing holistic improving strategies for rapid business results.
