The Six Sigma Project course is a 6-week program designed to provide students with the opportunity to complete a Six Sigma project. Six Sigma projects are used to measure the cost benefit of improving processes that are producing substandard products or services. Whether in manufacturing or service industries, such projects quantify the effect of process changes on delays or rework. The goal of each successful Six Sigma project is to produce statistically significant improvements in a process: Over time, multiple Six Sigma projects produce virtually defect-free performance. The Six Sigma project is one that uses appropriate tools within a Six Sigma approach to produce breakthrough performance and real financial benefit to an operating business or company.
Course Information
The class meets once a week for 8 hours and provides students with the opportunity to work in teams to select and complete a real world project using a variety of Six Sigma tools. An ASQ Certified Six Sigma Black Belt instructor will guide students in the application and integration of each tool within the project. Students should expect to perform work on the project both during and between class sessions. This course may involve off-campus site trips to the location where the process being improved for the project is located.
