This course develops the understanding of the participants around the famous Six Sigma Methodology, its barriers and applications. It depicts the role of strategy, team work, leadership, planning, comprehension of statistical tools, and experimental design in accomplishing successfully a six sigma project. Objective of this certificate course is to expose the participants to the concepts of ‘Six Sigma’ to improve their comprehension of defects and their reduction for improved Customer Satisfaction and Business Growth. This course work is comprised of definitions, principles, concepts, case-studies and implementation-strategies of Six Sigma. In this workshop, participants will not only be exposed to abstract Six Sigma Methodology but will also be encouraged to implement Six Sigma in a suitable area of their workplace. They will then present their application and findings after 1-week of the course. Companies will get benefited by this application of Six Sigma as their human capital will learn and apply. Another objective of this course is to prepare the participants for certification of ASQ’s Certified Six Sigma Green Belt (CSSGB). Interactive discussions, lectures, videos, case-based and problems-based teaching methodology will be employed. Use of relevant software package will be another important facet of this course.

• Professionals, Engineers, Managers, Executives from Manufacturing and Service Industries (Health Care, Academia & Government)
•
• Participants should preferably come with ideas where a Six Sigma Project can be initiated in their workplace.

The outcomes of this course are defined using Bloom’s Taxonomy, which defines Levels of Cognition according to Complexity: Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, & Create.

Contents of this workshop will be acquired by the participants at the level of cognition defined in “Topics Covered”.
