The training helped me structure and clearly illustrate with the use of data the value of improvement initiatives that has saved or returned millions of dollars to my company. The course was flexible, working with the needs of my everyday life and I was able to move through the material at my own pace but always felt well supported by my coach. Liviu, my coach, was excellent, always quick to respond, insightful and incredibly knowable with respect to the content and the use of Minitab. Overall, an excellent experience and I apply the learns regularly as an Operational Excellence Site Lead.”

He has an instinctive sense for people and progress, and removes the guesswork out of assignments, helps you understand the topic, and provides practical solutions. I highly recommend Liviu and Lean Six Sigma Canada institute as a hands on practical, real world provider of Lean Six Sigma training.”

“The help I got from Forrest’s Implementing Six Sigma book back in 2004, made feel that I MUST attend the public BB and MBB trainings. In 2008, I attended both BB and MBB training travelling all the way from Turkey, fully funded by my company. His IEE approach goes well beyond learning the tools (which were excellent as well) and equips with vision, skills and a road map to create the future for your value chain in today’s dynamic business environment. I strongly recommend these smarter solutions.”

Norma Tomlins
Operational Excellence Advisor at ICBC
“Liviu was my mentor in achieving my Master Black Belt certification. Liviu was very prompt in responding to assignment submissions which kept me motivated to keep moving forward at a good pace. I would recommend the Lean Six Sigma program as the assignments were a great way to confirm understanding of the material being studied.“
.
Alexander Ralph
Director of Supply Chain Management – City of Vancouver
“I just completed the LSSBB online training. I found that the greatest benefit of pursuing the certification online is that busy professionals can study at their own pace. The text book and the Lean Six Sigma Canada material are very good and thorough. I think I will always have these as desk-side reference for any business process improvement initiative I am involved with.
Additionally, the curriculum allows to have hands on experience with statistical tools and a good grasp on some of the main functionality on Minitab. I am very appreciative to Liviu as my Master Black Belt instructor as he was always available to clarify and respond to any question that I had along the certification journey.”

Francois Lafond
Production Director at Cascades
“I greatly enjoyed this training and the methodology used to learn and put into practice gradually the various elements of the Lean 6 Sigma Black Belt. A set of tools that will be useful in my work daily. Congratulation to your team for the quality of the support.”

“In my quest to broaden my knowledge of Lean Six Sigma, I was fortunate to arrive at the Lean Six Sigma Canada site. The array of robust programs available was the impetus I needed to join the Black Belt Certification program.
The course material was comprehensive, coupled with the wonderful support of my Sensei – Liviu Ibanescu, who brought to light the impact of the practicality of the Lean Six Sigma tools & methodology. This has greatly improved my productivity and fueled my desire to seek improvement opportunities and work with team members to proffer sustainable solutions using Lean Six Sigma.
I would want to equally thank the LSSC team (Justin Paul, et al) for their brilliant assistance during the program and would gladly recommend LSSC to anyone venturing into the Lean Six Sigma Realm.”

Nazmi Gilada
Senior Director Quality – SNC-Lavalin
“I had attended the training for Operational Excellence & Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt” offered by Lean Six Sigma Canada. The training was conducted by Mr. Forrest Breyfogle, who had published 14 books about different quality subjects. The course duration was two full time weeks spread over a month. This was one of the most informative training I had attended.
The advantage of Mr. Forrest Breyfogle presented information, is that he shared examples of the successful implementation of the developed processes, across multiple industries, which enabled us to fully understand the applicability of all the processes he demonstrated. Some of the most interesting processes were done by simulation workshops, that enabled us comprehend all the scenarios that could be faced and how to deal with them from analysis and actions to be taken.
The training also gave me access to direct discussion with Mr. Forrest Breyfogle with a measurement process that I had implemented in our company and how I can take it to the next improvement level, from his wide experience and knowledge. This was an amazing opportunity, that a highly experienced and knowledgeable person like Mr. Forrest Breyfogle reviews your process and confirms that you are on the right track and how you can even further improve it.
It was a great honour to have training by such a seasoned person, who was very willing to share his experience and processes in a very simple and friendly way, that made it very enjoyable.
Lean Six Sigma Canada were very professional in answering all my questions before joining the training and made sure that I have all the required information to make the decision to participate in the training an easy decision.”

“Just completed my LSSMBB with Lean Six Sigma Canada. I found the course assignment & project responses by Liviu Ibanescu to be very prompt. The online program worked well for me as I work mostly in mining and in some isolated places where there are neither instructors nor classes available. I was taught Lean directly by Toyota sensei, did my Green Belt with the University of Michigan and was Black Belt certified by exam through ASQ after self-study, so I have some experience with other programs.
The Lean Six Sigma Canada MBB program is thorough and covers a lot of material which I would have had trouble finishing if I had studied independently like I did with my BB. So if you want a quick and easy program look else where. Lean Six Sigma Canada MBB program is more like several university courses and it is more of a university level or quality and that makes it valuable and meaningful for MBB application in improvement activity.”

Tibor Virag, P. Eng., PMP, CGE, LSSBB
Program Manager at Bruce Power
“Liviu was my Lean Six Sigma Black Belt instructor guiding my journey during the training and certification process. He is a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt with accomplished “hands on” extensive experience in Engineering and Quality. Liviu is a leader with unique blend of technical capability, data driven discipline and business acumen utilizing a “forensic approach” for identification and resolution of complex statistical matters using the Six Sigma tools and techniques.”

Mohammed T. Ahmed
Continuous Improvement Manager at bioMerieux
“Overall Excellent! The Master Black Belt course provided by Lean Six Sigma Canada is a solid program for companies and individuals looking to expand their knowledge and foundation in the world of Lean Six Sigma and the ability to apply the principles for business process improvements. It is very well planned as a logical progression. Excellent support! For any questions, emails were promptly answered and guidance provided.
The exam was a good reflection of the key course concepts presented. I would highly recommend this program to a Black Belt wishing to learn new tools, or simply wanting to learn how to better apply the tools you already know, this program is a must! “
.
Patricio Cisneros
Performance and Quality Management at City of Calgary
“It is with much enthusiasm and great pleasure that I recommend the Master Black Belt Training (MBB) with Lean Six Sigma Canada. Liviu, who was the assigned instructor/coach, provided me with his technical guidance and support during the training. He was always available to resolve my questions and bringing positive impact in my journey. The content, structure and tools of the MBB training are well designed to pursue the Lean Six Sigma professional certifications.”
.
Sylviu Valen
Plant Manger at DSI Safety
“Perhaps the hardest part of Lean Six Sigma (in my opinion) is knowing what tool to use for what situation, and LSS Canada program does a pretty good job of organizing the data to help you with these challenges. The training is “for practitioner, by the practitioner” type and seems to have the right balance of theory and practical application for the LSS professionals. Although you probably need some background courses, the trainers have the ability to mentor even the most inexperienced process improvement specialists through clear, real world examples, being able to deliver an optimum service to them.“

“Liviu was my instructor at Lean Six Sigma Canada while I was training for my Green Belt certification. Liviu was a strong facilitator who was very engaged, a great communicator and forthcoming. I truly appreciated the effort he put in.“

Lubna Alsharif

“When I first thought about adding Lean Six Sigma knowledge and skills to my background in Quality Improvement in Healthcare, I was so privileged when Lean Six Sigma Canada popped up in the Google search. This professional institution was of great interest to me academically and administratively. My mentor encouraged me to jump directly to the BB given my past experience in Healthcare Quality Improvement. He was very dynamic in answering my questions and giving me technical support . The material provided during the course of the certification was very helpful to understand and fulfil all assignments and the final exam successfully. I Highly encourage candidates to enroll in in such courses and certification with Lean Six Sigma Canada.”

“I recently obtained my LSS certification within 12 months while working full-time and managing a busy family life. This is a testament to the program and Liviu’s approach as Instructor. I found the program comprehensive; the feedback perfectly matched to my progress; the chapter assignments applicable and thought-provoking; and the exam a fair (but challenging) assessment of the course material. Liviu is a strong facilitator who allows the student to direct their own learning and develop their skills at their own pace.”

Claudia Paredes
Continuous Improvement Leader at Jugos del Valle-Santa Clara – Mexico
“I decided to be a Master Black Belt, so I was searching for universities in Mexico, but I suddenly started looking for options outside of my home country, so I found Lean Six Sigma Canada as a very good option about pricing and the educational program.
The Master Black Belt was a challenge for me that I really enjoyed, all the time that I needed some help, my instructor Liviu Ibanescu was there, sending me extra examples or answering the questions that I had, I am really grateful about the support.
I totally recommend to apply for any course in Lean Six Sigma Canada, because you will get new knowledge, that you will be able to apply in any environment that you are working as a professional, for me at the manufacturing industry.”
.
David Byron
Chief Operation Officer – Intelligent Lighting Technologies
“I fully endorse Lean Six Sigma Canada. Liviu Ibanescu and the LSSC team delivers and supports an excellent training and certification in Lean Six Sigma. At a time in my life that was extremely busy with family and and a new startup company I new the only way to accomplish the task of becoming certified was to find an online certification. LSSC delivers an exceptional online course that I completed within 12 months and I would highly recommend this certification to everyone.”

Heather Collis
General Manager at John Brooks Company
“Just completed my Lean Six Sigma Certification on line with Lean Six Sigma Canada. This particular course provided a step above by offering a combination of the traditional Six Sigma improvement strategies and Lean improvement strategies known as the Smarter Six Sigma Solution with Integrated Enterprise Excellence (S4/IEE).
I found the material provided through Lean Six Sigma Canada very thorough, informative and self-explanatory. Significant amount of reading and assignments which assists in preparing you for the real life process. The exercises provide realistic business situations and improvement approaches you can utilize going forward within your own business environment. Liviu Ibanescu was extremely helpful and responded very quickly, I was impressed with the response time of all my questions and exercise feedback Liviu provided. Highly recommended. Looking forward for the next chapter of implementation and Black Belt Certification.“

Randy McDougall
Continuous Improvement Manager at Niagara Region
“Recently completed my online BB certification through Lean Six Sigma Canada. It was a great experience and Liviu was fantastic as an instructor. He was always available and gave clear explanation when needed. This was reflected in how well I was able to do on the exam. Thanks Liviu and L6S Canada for your support and guidance. Looking forward to pursuing my MBB next.”
.
Jack Xing
Technology Manager – The Lubrizol Corporation
“There are thousands of training providers of Lean Six Sigma Belt Certification, but I would recommend LSSC (Lean Six Sigma Canada) if you want to be qualified as a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, not to only have a certificate, but real skills and competencies enhancement. The main reason is that LSSC could help you to systematically understand the Lean Six Sigma project strategy and roadmap. To complete the assignments, you have to study the textbook and training materials. My Black Belt learning lasted 5 months. It is not easy, but really valuable. My instructor, Liviu Ibanescu, offered his great support to review my assignments and answer all questions raised during the study process. Meanwhile, the training material from LSSC is a good project implementation guideline.
After completing my learning, I conducted a review on one of my previous finished continuous improvement projects, by using the tools I learned and found a bunch of mistakes we made. If my previous projects would have been conducted according to the guideline I just learned, the output and benefits would have been quite different.“
.
Adrian Turculet, M.A.Sc, P.Eng, LSSBB
Corporate Engineering Manager at Kenco Group
“LSS black belts are professional problem solvers …. With this in mind, Liviu (my MBB instructor) took great care to transfer all the necessary skills that future black belts will need to become great leaders and mentors. Another differentiating aspect of this BB course is the inclusion of creative-thinking exercises from Forrest’s book – ISS 2nd edition (great training / reference tool) that can be used within the structure of DMAIC when out-of-the-box solutions are needed. These creative exercises / techniques can dislodge your thinking when you are mired in your own assumptions and familiarity with the processes.
Finally, this course has a practical and applied focus. Black belt candidates receive certification from Lean Six Sigma Canada when they successfully pass exams and complete a project in their workplace that removes sources of substandard quality, streamlines and optimizes processes, reduces defects or otherwise significantly contributes to cost-reduction or revenue targets.
To Liviu, thank you for transferring knowledge from your extensive industry experience and thorough set of course content. Liviu vigorously challenged me to stretch myself, supported me in this regard, so I can extract the most value from the experience.”

Jane Ioana Rusin, B.Eng., CBAP
Sr. Business Analyst at BMO Financial Group
“I just passed my LSS BB exam with flying colors. I personally prefer individual study and on-line courses due to my busy schedule, so Lean Six Sigma Canada’s on-line program was a perfect fit. After 44 assignments and a second read of the text book, I considered myself well prepared to take the exam.
The support of the MBB, the practical aspect of each assignment and the availability of the Minitab software at a discounted student price are all very good reasons why Lean Six Sigma Canada is a very good choice.”

“When I decided to pursue my Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, I looked into variety of program providers until I came across Lean Six Sigma Canada. I must say, it is an extremely challenging and involving program which is taught at highest standard by Lean Six Sigma Canada. Lean Six Sigma Canada offers a very comprehensive, in-depth and detailed LSSBB program and the curriculum is so well designed and prepares you for problem solving at high level with highest accuracy.
One of the biggest advantage of Lean Six Sigma Canada, I must say, was my mentor, Liviu. It is amazing how knowledgeable he is and how easily he transfers his vast knowledge to students in a most effective and understandable way. I can not thank him enough for his guidance during this course.
I will definitely recommend Lean Six Sigma Canada and their programs to everyone who wants to take their career to the next level.”

“The online LSSBB training is a great alternative to classroom training. The course contained topics that ranged in complexity and difficulty through self-paced learning. Through the guidance of my MBB instructor Liviu, who was great at answering many of my technical questions in simple terms over e-mail, my transfer of knowledge in online training was just as effective as classroom instruction.
The body of knowledge was very comprehensive. I was able to apply the tools and knowledge in practice assignments that culminated in an written exam and LSSBB project submission. I am looking forward to continuing my journey in process excellence with the skills that I’ve learned in the LSSBB training.”

“Throughout the two-month period of my Lean Six Sigma GB Training Course, my MBB instructor has demonstrated exceptional mentorship skills and inspired my continuing education journey by using strategies matched with my learning style. He was very responsive during the week to support my studies and the LSS project I was working on. With his expertise, knowledge and experience in LSS, along with his mentorship style, I would highly recommend individuals who would like to pursue LSS training and certification to register with Lean Six Sigma Canada.
Thank you LSS Canada in supporting one of my many professional development goals!”

“I am very pleased with LSSC’s Green Belt program. The assignments are carefully catered to ensure you develop a deep understanding of the topics. The notes as well as the Minitab exercises allowed me to see how 6sigma principles can be applied in real life business and manufacturing situations. Liviu was also very prompt in marking assignments and answering questions. A big bonus was the range of useful LSCC templates that I can use for future projects.”

“I recently applied to the Lean Six Sigma Black Belt online training and I obtained my certification last month. Although I had a strong experience of the TPM approach and some experience with Six sigma tools, I really learned a lot during the program and I was pleased to understand where and when ‘Lean’ and ‘Six Sigma’ integrate.
Moreover, I really enjoyed the support from Liviu and Justin. I definitely recommend this program to anyone interesting in continuous improvement.“

“I just got my LSS BB certificate and I’m glad I did. I’ve heard the ASQ certification is a good benchmark in terms of Lean Six Sigma, and to prepare for the Lean Six Sigma Canada final exam, I took some practice tests from the ASQ and passed them all. That’s why I think this program is on par with the most broadly recognized certifications. However, we would need to repeat this experiment with other trainees and perform some Minitab analysis to know for sure 😉
I’m an autodidact and needed a self paced training as life is quite busy. It suited my needs and my learning style. Also, the format of reading chapters then practice the concepts right after when it’s fresh is a good andragogical practice.”
.
Tracy Anderson
Academic Programs Assistant, Learning, University of Alberta
“Six Sigma and Lean methodologies have interested me for some time and the testimonials on the website encouraged me to choose Lean Six Sigma Canada. The online Yellow Belt training from Lean Six Sigma Canada was very convenient and the ample 14 month time frame allowed me to complete the course at my own pace, however didn’t take long once I got started. Liviu reviewed assignments very quickly and any questions asked were answered promptly.
I’m looking forward to implementing what I’ve learned so far. Thank you Lean Six Sigma Canada!“

“The LSSBB training and certification program is a thorough, well organized course, based on a well written and easy to understand book by Forrest Breyfogle. It’s a program that took me step by step to learning new concepts and tools, building on previous steps.
Using the word of Lao Tzu “The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step”. At each step I got guidance from Mr. Liviu Ibanescu, to make sure I am following the right path. It’s like problem solving using the Kata approach.
Overall is a well put together program that I would recommend to anyone wanting to venture into the statistical approach of problem solving.”

Jim Bennett
Agile and Lean Six Sigma Strategist
“Having taken my Lean Six Sigma Black Belt with Lean Six Sigma Canada I felt confident the quality of the Master Black Belt program would be exceptional; which is exactly how it turned out. Although the course contained a mountain of material, the instructor (Forrest Breyfogle III) broke it down into real world examples that applied to each of the different industries represented by the students in the class. This made it very easy to ingest and retain.
In addition to covering all of the traditional Lean Six Sigma topics, this course also delved into soft skills, such as communication, advocacy and coaching skills, which bring great value to a Master Black Belt trying to build a culture of excellence within their organization.
This training has given me a skillset that will help us change our behavior toward improved efficiency, truly apply the right tool to the task and build sustainability into our Lean Six Sigma/Operational Efficiency initiatives.”

“I would like to take this opportunity and appreciate the Lean Six Sigma Canada program for really rooting down for me and adding value to all the aspects of the program. I feel like, I am understanding the subjects rather than just learning them. The lectures and resources are superb. With LSS, I was able to find everything under one platform. Liviu was unbelievably helpful to me and he always have gone above and beyond to provide me with all the support I need. He and his dynamic team have always been great in providing creative approach by balancing the theory with practical solutions and giving attention to details.”

Brian Mann
Management Consultant at Focis Consulting
“The practical lean six sigma methodologies Ive learned will enable me to provide substantially increased value to my clients. I benefited most from the six sigma, verses lean, emphasis of the BB materials and assignments as I had no prior knowledge of the complex six sigma methodologies and the Minitab statistical software application. I already had a good understanding and awareness of the largely intuitive Lean concepts and methodologies so the succinct overviews provided was all I needed.”

“When it comes to Operational Excellence and Lean Six Sigma Master Black-Belt training, there are loads of options to select from.
In researching the plethora of courses available online and in-class, I decided on the top quality, Lean Six Sigma Canada – Smarter Solutions Master Black-Belt in-class training.
The program offered next generation thinking in continuous improvement deployment through the Integrated Enterprise Excellence (IEE) system.
The course provided practical concepts, methodologies, and facilitator know-how on management of an improvement program that focuses on organizational success, beyond projects.

Cheryl Holden
Master Black Belt, Global Real Estate at Hewlett-Packard Texas
“I took the Smarter Solutions MBB workshop several years ago and found that it was extremely beneficial. SSI goes beyond typical training and covers topics that I think most trained MBBs are never exposed to. I found the course so useful that I sent one of my colleagues through the workshop last year, and plan to send another this year.“
