Event Details

Participants in this 10-day course (over 20 sessions) will learn the theory and application of tools and methods for successful completion of improvement projects in a manufacturing business environment. Tools for the application of the Six Sigma DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control) improvement strategy will be introduced with hands-on exercises and tutorials to ensure rapid learning and knowledge retention.  The training style is tell-show-do, with a strong emphasis on individual hands-on exercises and team-based activities. Training workbooks are comprehensive, self-contained, and serve as excellent references for learning and review. Classroom training sessions are interspersed with periods of work on actual company-supported improvement projects.

           
On completion of this training program, participants will be able to:

  • Deliver a financial return to their organization through completion of a Six Sigma Green Belt improvement project
  • Apply benefit-feasibility analysis to identify improvement projects aligned with your organization’s priorities for quality, delivery, customer satisfaction, and profitability.
  • Successfully apply appropriate Six Sigma Green Belt tools to future projects
  • Perform basic statistical analyses using Excel.
  • Develop, evaluate, and implement improvements that can dramatically reduce scrap, rework, complexity, defects, delays, and other forms of waste in manufacturing and transactional processes.
  • Translate Six Sigma analyses into recommendations for improving your work place processes
  • Apply statistical and/or non-statistical control tools to sustain the gains from project improvements
