Six Sigma Green Belt Certificate – Online

Six Sigma is a Quality Improvement methodology structured to reduce product or service failure rates to a negligible level (roughly 3.4 failures per million opportunities). To achieve six sigma levels, the Six Sigma process encompasses all aspects of a business, including management, service delivery, design, production and customer satisfaction. As a philosophy Six Sigma drives business culture and requires a nearly flawless execution of key processes making Six Sigma a high standard for companies and individuals to achieve. The Six Sigma Greenbelt online program provides knowledge to help you effectively apply the concepts and methods of Six Sigma. You’ll discover how the vast number of topics—value-stream mapping, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), process capability, control charts, statistical process control (SPC), design of experiments (DOE), and many more—can increase your overall quality IQ. After completing this course, you’ll be well-prepared to sit for the Six Sigma Green Belt certification exam offered by the American Society for Quality (ASQ) (Exam Voucher Included) as well as be positioned to add value to a wide variety of organizations, including manufacturing companies, service operations, and the government sector.
