Six Sigma is an industry-standard methodology for process improvement and business transformation. Our Green Belt course is aligned with ASQ and IASSC's (known for their comprehensive and robust content) international Body of Knowledge (BOK). This unique Green Belt Six Sigma course will help you improve the quality of your organization's operations by adopting a data-driven approach. It will also give you the skills to work on projects that benefit all processes and businesses. Participants will learn the different phases of Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC) and how to craft a project charter. Additionally, they will learn about quality tools and statistics to support them while formulating problem statements and translating them into a measurable format. Participants will also be provided with the means to assess their organization's readiness to launch Six Sigma projects. Join us to become a certified Six Sigma practitioner like the thousands of Six Sigma professionals we have successfully trained over the last 20 years.
Course Methodology
Through interactive lectures and group and individual presentations, the course will allow participants to practice the skills they have acquired through exercises and case studies.
