"The black belt program really challenged me to look at our organization from

a different point of view.  One would think that the tools that were developed for manufacturing would not be transferrable to healthcare or services, but I would

say that is far from the truth.  It is the thinking behind the tools that has benefitted

our organization the most along with the support that the instructors give to you."

Black Belt Training Program

The RIT CQAS Black Belt training program is a keystone element of the Lean Six Sigma training program and builds upon the lessons learned through the prerequisite Green Belt training program. Each program participant is required to complete a Black Belt project that will continue beyond the training timeframe and directly benefit their corporation. On average, these Black Belt projects return $50,000 or more in value to the program participant’s corporation and provide an immediate return-on-investment that is exponentially larger than the training program’s expense.

The Black Belt training program is led by expert instructors and involves participants in an extensive interactive quality training environment. Participants are exposed to each topic through in-depth classroom assignments and structured shop floor exercises within team environments.

These expert Black Belt training program instructors include:
