SIX SIGMA GREEN BELT CERTIFICATION

 

Program Overview:

 

 

Six Sigma is an integrated, discipline proven approach to identify improvement projects, measure results, analyze performance data, and improve and create process solutions that eliminate the cause of customer-end defects. This program provides participants with an exposure to the tools and methods that are necessary to successfully contribute Six Sigma projects. Green Belts play a vital role within a Six Sigma initiative as they learn to contribute to the Black Belt's efforts of data collection and analysis, process mapping, and design of experiments.

 

 

Who should Attend:

 

 

Operations managers, supervisors, leads and other individual contributors (quality engineers).

Engineers, administrators, manufacturing personnel.

Consultants who want to incorporate Six Sigma, Green Belt in their service offerings.

Individuals seeking to obtain practical skills in Six Sigma, Green Belt.

Individuals wanting an introduction to Six Sigma thinking and techniques.

 

 

What You Will Learn:

 

 

Understand and be able to explain the concept of Six Sigma.

Identify the voice of the customer, their needs and requirements.

Discover all the various ways to collect data.

Learn to identify sources of variation and screen potential causes.

Learn and apply the Six Sigma DMAIC tools as a member of an improvement team.

SIX SIGMA, BLACK BELT CERTIFICATION  

 

 

Program Overview:

 

 

Six Sigma is a quantitative process that promotes improved effectiveness and efficiency in an organization. It is a quality improvement methodology structured to reduce product or service failure rates to a negligible level (roughly 3.4 failures per million opportunities). To achieve these levels, it encompasses all aspects of business, including management, service delivery, design, production and customer satisfaction.

 

While introducing the principles, concepts, and tool necessary to a Six Sigma quality program, this class also explores the strategic planning and cultural changes needed to implement such a program. Students will examine the major components of a Six Sigma quality program, the benefits and implications of becoming a quality driven organization, and the companies/countries using the Six Sigma quality model. Most importantly, students will learn how to apply the principles and tools in the work place.

 

The program is designed for those who need a solid foundation in process improvement, with bottom-line results. Standardizing a methodology to achieve Six Sigma allows one to focus on reducing the standard deviation within their individual processes rather than obsessing over methods. This standardization creates a common language and a common cause throughout the value stream.

 

 

Who should attend:

 

 

Operations managers, directors, and vice presidents.

General business managers.

Human resource managers, directors, and vice presidents.

Engineers and engineering management.

Information Technology Management.

Consultants who want to incorporate Six Sigma in their service offerings.

 

 

 

What you will learn:

 

This course provides comprehensive training of the Six Sigma quantitative process. Upon completion of the program, you should have the abilities to:

Understand the DMAIC methodology.

Expand the concepts of analysis, improvement and control.

Understand the application of statistical techniques.

Accurately use the advanced statistical techniques and process control.

 

Benefits:

 

Increase productivity.

Reduce cost of poor quality.

Eliminate WIP defects.
