We offer live, hands on performance training. Each attendee learns by doing, by performing real professional task's.
This specialization is for you if you are looking to learn more about the more advanced components of Six Sigma and Lean. Six Sigma skills are widely sought by employers both nationally and internationally. These skills have been proven to help improve business processes, performance, and quality assurance.
In this specialization, you will learn proven principles and tools specific to six sigma and lean.
This is a sequential, linear designed specialization that covers a more advanced level of content (at the “green belt” level) of Six Sigma and Lean. Yellow Belt knowledge is needed before advancing to Green Belt (which is the second specialization offered here on Coursera by the USG). Green Belt knowledge is needed before moving to a Black Belt.
Learning Outcomes:
- Upon successful completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Learn and apply the fundamentals of six sigma strategies and tools
- Learn how to identify and manage six sigma projects relevant to organizational growth.
- Apply six sigma program in the organizations.
