Green Belt - Manufacturing Process Excellence with Lean Six Sigma
This course presents the Six Sigma philosophy and teaches you how to use the related tools. Students learn the DMAIC methodology and apply it to their manufacturing breakthrough projects.
Learn how to
- use the DMAIC methodology to solve product production problems
- define a problem and objective statement
- determine critical to quality factors
- generate and execute a data collection plan
- use root cause analysis tools to determine the root cause of a problem
- generate improvement strategies
- implement a control system for a newly improved process.
Who should attend
Individuals who are working directly on Six Sigma/lean projects and serving as Green Belts
