Business Six Sigma: Green Belt
| This course prepares you to perform simple to moderately-complex Six Sigma projects and support Black Belts on projects for service and office processes. Covering recognized body of knowledge for Green Belts, it covers the purpose, tools, and expected outcomes for each DMAIC phase; and includes how to manage a Six Sigma project. It is designed to provide Green Belts with a roadmap for working through a project rather than a tools-focused approach to training. This course follows the typical format of two 4-1/2 day training classes (one session per month for two months) and prepares you to take the Black Belt Upgrade course (this course is a pre-requisite for the Black Belt Upgrade).
Through instruction, discussion, group activities, hands-on exercises, and a project, you will learn how to:- Explain how Six Sigma improves business performance
- Describe the Six Sigma approach
- Describe sources of variability and process sigma level
- Describe the DMAIC improvement methodology
- Use Six Sigma tools including charters, Voice of the Customer, Y=f(x), basic QC tools, process mapping, measurement systems analysis, use of statistics, sampling, confidence intervals, ANOVA, process capability, graphical analysis, correlation and regression, cost-benefit analysis, error proofing, standards, and others
