Six Sigma Black Belt Workshop

This workshop will provide you comprehensive materials of six sigma at the black belt level based on ASQ body of knowledge for certified six sigma black belt.  This workshop requires 10 full days class room meetings and the development and completion of an organizational sponsored project with proven benefit.  Six sigma black belt certification will be issued when student completed both the course work and the approved project.  

This ten-day workshop will be presented either in two five-day installments with at least two weeks break to allow the student project to progress toward its completion, or at a customized schedule.

At the end of this workshop and with a completion of approved project, you will be:

 

  • Understand what six sigma is and how to deploy it to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the organization.
  • Obtain the knowledge, tools, and firsthand experience which are necessary for a successful six sigma implementation.
  • Certified for the works you have done and the accomplishment in the completed lean, six sigma project.

This course is designed for people who are desired for an in depth understanding of how to use six sigma for process improvement, and gaining hand-on experiences in actually implement it.  The approach applies both to manufacturing and non manufacturing process, especially, tools can be used to generate, analyze the information for better decision making.
