Six Sigma (2 day training)

Training Overview:  Participants will learn to use the science of Six Sigma. They will learn from an experienced Six Sigma Black Belt, who will teach the entire D.M.A.I.C. method. DMAIC is the structured Six Sigma approach for process improvement. The DMAIC process can be applied to any situation where a process, be it physical (i.e. manufacturing) or transactional, is producing measurable results. Projects can be anything from decreasing the number of manufacturing defects, to decreasing the number of overdue accounts receivable, to increasing sales in the Czech Republic.
