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.
It incorporates the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt (Essentials) Training Course during week 1 and will cover the basic Lean and Six Sigma tools and principles such as Kanban, DMAIC methodology, and the 7 Wastes, as well as basic improvement project leadership tools.
Week 2 consists of advanced Six Sigma statistical concepts and tools, and will include key topics such as analysing statistical data, introducing the use of Minitab, Six Sigma implementation and managing stakeholders’ requirements.
