Lean Six Sigma Body of Knowledge

The IASSC Universally Accepted Lean Six Sigma Body of Knowledge (ILSSBOK) is an embodiment of the consensus of what industry expects of a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt.

The ILSSBOK is the result of research that was conducted over a two year period with the assistance of the leading industry publication house. The goal of this project was to characterize the standard knowledge requirements that are universally expected of a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt. With input from 1000’s of Deployment Leaders, Master Blacks Belts, Black Belt Certifications and Green Belts from 100’s of companies and industry sectors the ILSSBOK is truly the Voice of the Industry.

This is a significant breakthrough, for the first time in the history of the Lean Six Sigma the industry itself has defined what it deems is as a relevant and practical version of the knowledge expectations of a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification, Green Belt and Yellow Belt. Today, IASSC continues this research and accepts ongoing industry feedback to ensure the standards continue to accurately represent the market expectations.

The ILSSBOK consists of five primary sections each of which is broken into sub-categories. This Body of Knowledge serves as the basis for what many of today’s leading Lean Six Sigma companies consider to be standard and expected knowledge requirements of a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt Certification, Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt. This body of knowledge also serves as the foundation upon which IASSC Certification examinations are built.

The IASSC Certified Black Belt Certification Exam is constructed based on the topics within the Body of Knowledge listed below. Questions may test up to the complexity level of “Analyze” as defined by Levels of Cognition based on Bloom’s Taxonomy – Revised (2001). More about Blooms Taxonomy may be found in the FAQ’s section.
