Green Belt - Transactional Process Excellence with Lean Six Sigma
This course presents the Six Sigma philosophy. Students learn the DMAIC methodology and apply it to their transactional Six Sigma and lean projects.
Learn how to
- use the DMAIC methodology to solve operational problems
- define a problem and an 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 working directly on Six Sigma projects and serving as green belts, and coming from different transactional backgrounds, such as sales, human resources, finance, and customer service
