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. Additionally, videos will be shown on companies that implemented the Six Sigma methodology. Throughout the course, a case study will show how Six Sigma can be applied within an organization.
Course Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Explain Six Sigma and its importance to drive and sustain business improvement
- Examine the define stage components and generate the project charter
- Discuss the measure, data sampling, and collection stage using various tools in Minitab
- Explore the analysis stage using various graphical analysis charts and tests
- Evaluate the improve and control stages using various Six Sigma tools
- Distinguish between Six Sigma methodology (variation removal) and Lean thinking (waste removal
Target Audience
Managers, supervisors, and professionals who wish to fully utilize the Six Sigma approach in their organizations or gain professional certification or learn how Six Sigma relates to work and business improvement.
Target Competencies
- Deploying Six Sigma
- Problem-solving
- Critical thinking
- Using applied statistics
- Lean principles
Note
Course pre-requisites:
• Knowledge of basic and intermediate statistics: It is suggested that participants take some time to review basic statistics. Books or e-learning modules could be used to refresh participants’ knowledge before attending the course.
• Familiarity with the seven essential problem-solving tools
• At least five years of practical experience in business processes
• Participants will benefit more if they come prepared with a business improvement idea that may positively impact their organization (e.g., cost savings of $10,000 to $50,000). The knowledge and skills gained in this course will be applied to transform their ideas into projects. However, this is an exam-based certification, and no project submission is required.
Participants must bring their laptops pre-installed with Minitab statistical software. Computers must have administrator privileges to allow participants to install Minitab software and access a USB.
