Six Sigma emphasizes quality improvement, but it is more than statistics and tools. The proven Six Sigma methodology is a systematic application that is focused on achieving significant financial results. When properly deployed on carefully selected business projects, this methodology can lead to a significant reduction—and in many cases, elimination—of defects and out-of-control processes, which saves valuable corporate resources. That translates into immediate—and dramatic— financial profitability.
This Six Sigma Black Belt training is specifically designed to provide and prepare participants to implement the principles, practices, and techniques of Six Sigma in order to deliver breakthrough business improvement results time after time.. This training is conducted in a series of sessions - four weeks of rigorous and applied training over a four-month period - 20 total days of coursework.
