Six Sigma

Time: 40 hours

Prerequisite:

Some management or leadership experience is preferred and basic computer skill is required

Course overview:

Competition is forcing firms to eliminate non-value added work and output inconsistency. While the concept of Lean addresses the former problem by removing process waste, the Six Sigma methodology solves the latter problem by minimizing process variation. This comprehensive course on all aspects of Lean and Six Sigma, gives you hands-on experience with essential quality improvement tools and techniques.

Students who successfully execute a Lean Six Sigma Project for an organization with documented evidence of process improvement results will also be eligible to receive a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt certification.
