SUBJECT: Justification for Lean & Six Sigma Black Belt Training

1. Lean & Six Sigma Black Belt training provides a thorough knowledge of applications for continued process improvement (CPI) that is mandated by the Department of Defense. A certified Black Belt exhibits team leadership, understands team dynamics, and assigns their team members with roles and responsibilities to cut waste, improve processes, and assist in development of new strategies and policies.

2. SJB Solutions LLC has a Federal Cage Code, DUNS number and can provide the Virgin Islands National Guard with Lean & Six Sigma Black Belt training and certification. Approval is requested to utilize SJB Solutions, LLC for Lean & Six Sigma Black Belt training. More importantly and extremely critical, VING is conducting this training in conjunction with several VI Government agencies and the dates (29 AUG- 2SEP16) specified for the training is critical based on GVI agency official’s schedules of availability of key personnel that must attend. The VING and GVI agencies are working in conjunction to complete projects that will enhance the Territory agencies in direct support of the USVI. The VING members have been working and will continue to work in this area of planning with GVI agencies, thus training with these agencies based on the vendor (SJB Solutions, LLC) that they have contracted with will enhance our relationship and ultimately mission success.
