About this course:
The Six Sigma Management System is rocking the business world by helping organizations meet or exceed customer requirements through greater efficiency and profitability. "Sigma" is a statistical measurement term that indicates how far a given process deviates from perfection, and the highly disciplined Six Sigma process allows organizations to develop and deliver near-perfect products and services. The central idea behind Six Sigma is that if you can measure how many defects exist in a process, you can systematically eliminate them and get as close to "zero defects" as possible. This course shows students how to identify and manage process-improvement projects using the systematic, analytical Six Sigma approach. Topics include management roles and responsibilities that support Six Sigma philosophy, specific analysis techniques that can be applied to a process, and inspiring case studies of company successes. Class exercises include simulations that demonstrate the application of tools and techniques. While our Lean Six Sigma courses are not ASQ certification test prep courses, we employ the same material used to prepare students for the certification exam. Our instructors are practitioners who teach students how to apply Lean and Six Sigma to any business sector. Student walk away with practical knowledge on how to create lasting change in their companies.Winter 2025 Schedule
