Introduction to six sigma
This one-day course introduces delegates to six sigma in its main forms: define, measure, analyse, improve and control (DMAIC) and lean six sigma. It will enable participants to improve the quality of process outputs by removing the causes of defects and minimising variability in manufacturing and business processes.
This course is aimed at individuals who have responsibility for implementing or studying the implementation of six sigma in their organisation. It can also be successfully used to train team members who will be part of six sigma project teams but who do not require the depth of knowledge of a green belt.
