Why Attend
Join us to become a certified Six Sigma practitioner joining the thousands of Six Sigma professionals we have successfully trained over the last 20 years. Six Sigma is an industry standard methodology for process improvement and business transformation. Our IASSC accredited Green Belt course is well recognised for its comprehensive and robust content aligned with the international Body of Knowlege (BOK) by as ASQ and IASCC. This unique Green Belt Six Sigma course will help you to improve the quality of your company operations by adopting a data-driven approach and provide you with the skills necessary to work on projects to benefit all types of 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, participants will learn about quality tools and statistics to help them formulate problem statements and translate them into a measurable format. Participants will be provided with the tools to assess their organization’s readiness to launch Six Sigma projects.
Course Methodology
The course will present participants with the chance to practice the skills acquired through exercises and case studies. Group and individual presentations will also be conducted. Additionally, videos will be shown about real life companies which have implemented the Six Sigma methodology. A Case study will guide the training. Following the course, you will receive a Six Sigma Green attendance certificate. Certification will be obtained by passing an exam at the end of the course to measure the participants’ knowledge on Six Sigma body of knowledge (BOK).
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Improve processes using DMAIC Six Sigma (variation removal) andLean approach (waste removal)
