About this Course
Businesses today can’t rest on their laurels — they must continuously optimize their operations and processes to remain competitive. Lean Six Sigma sets the standard in this space. Combining Lean and Six Sigma principles, Lean Six Sigma has helped organizations across industries to streamline operations, reduce costs and improve performance. Given this strong track record, professionals with Lean Six Sigma expertise are in high demand.
In this course, you’ll get in-depth instruction in the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) problem-solving methodology and gain a full toolkit of Lean Six Sigma concepts. You’ll learn everything you need to drive meaningful improvement in your business, including process mapping, data collection, root cause analysis, control charts and process capability analysis. Along the way, you'll identify, charter and faciliate an improvement project that demonstrates full application of the DMAIC methodology.
