Benchmark Six Sigma is an Accredited Training Provider of Exemplar Global (formerly RABQSA), a globally recognized certification body and part of the ASQ (American Society for Quality) family.

All certifications in this bundle:

• Follow globally consistent assessment standards

• Validate applied capability, not classroom exposure

• Are recognized across industries and geographies

The LPLG, Green Belt, and Black Belt certifications together create a rare combination of:

• Lean system design capability

• Statistical problem-solving depth

• Leadership and execution credibility

Target Audience (Professional Roles, Experience Level)

Ideal for professionals expected to own Operational Excellence outcomes, not just participate in projects:

• Operations, Quality, Process Excellence, and Supply Chain professionals

• Continuous Improvement and Transformation Office members

• Managers responsible for performance improvement across teams

• Lean Six Sigma professionals seeking Lean deployment depth

• Individuals aspiring to become internal excellence coaches or change leaders

Entry Requirements

• No prior Green Belt or Lean certification required

• Suitable for both manufacturing and service environments

• Comfort with basic data handling is helpful but not mandatory

Many organizations struggle because:

• Lean and Six Sigma are taught separately, leading to fragmented capability

• Professionals know tools but cannot design or deploy systems

• Improvements fail due to weak sustainment and leadership alignment

• Lean initiatives remain event-driven instead of system-driven

• Black Belt projects succeed individually but fail to scale

The Comprehensive Operational Excellence Bundle exists to eliminate these gaps by combining:

• Lean system design (LPLG)

• Six Sigma execution rigor (GB + BB)

• Leadership and sustainment capability

into a single, coherent learning journey.

Choosing this bundle shifts the experience from certification accumulation to capability ownership.

What Becomes Easier

• Designing future-state Lean systems, not just fixing problems

• Integrating Lean flow with Six Sigma validation seamlessly

• Coaching teams and leaders with confidence and structure

• Scaling improvements beyond individual projects

• Sustaining gains long after project closure

What Risks Reduce

• Lean initiatives becoming tool-heavy and short-lived

• Black Belt projects remaining isolated successes

• Resistance during deployment due to weak leadership alignment

• Improvements failing during handover or sustainment

This bundle is intentionally architected to produce professionals who can design, lead, execute, and institutionalize Operational Excellence end to end.
