Overview

COURSE OUTLINE: The course on Six-Sigma will focus on detailed strategic and operational issues of process improvement and variation reduction. Six-sigma is a measure of quality that strives for near perfection. It is a disciplined, data-driven approach for eliminating defects (driving towards six standard deviations between the mean and the nearest specification limit) in any process-from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service. A Six-sigma defect is anything outside of customer specifications. To be tagged Six Sigma, a process must not produce more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. Six-sigma employs a systematic approach of DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control) for the process improvement. This course will provide a detailed understanding on various issues specific to each phase of DMAIC.

    I really enjoyed the online course. I thought it was well planned and layed out,easy for me to understand. I learn about the topics and not feel over loaded and rushed.
    Overall I really like this training because all lectures are straight forward. I believe that I gain more knowledge about Six Sigma, I can use them in my career growth, industry growth.
    The course was everything you said it would be very helpful for me. I also liked the teaching process. The course is very good for industry fields employees, students.
