Six Sigma Green Belt (Advanced) Training Course

Overview

Six Sigma is a set of techniques and statistical analysis tools used to improve processes by reducing the likelihood of defects and variation. It was first developed at Motorola and grew to prominence after GE successfully adopted the techniques in the late 1980s.  Now Six Sigma is widely used by organisations across all industries, including manufacturers, service providers and financial organisations.

This comprehensive ten day Six Sigma Green Belt (Advanced) Training Course is split into two five-day sessions with a guided project in between.
