Course details
Six Sigma offers many techniques and strategies to improve an organization's processes. As a Six Sigma team moves into the Improve phase, they begin to generate a list of solutions to address the causes of problems in the process. After plans have been developed, the implementation of the improved process needs to be tested and verified to ensure the optimal choices were made. Finally, risks to the new process need to be examined and minimized. This course looks at improvement methods and implementation issues in Six Sigma. It examines Lean methods used to reduce waste, such as cycle-time reduction, the Japanese principles of kaizen and kaizen blitz, and the application of Goldratt's Theory of Constraints. Also, it looks at tools and techniques for implementing and evaluating the new process. Finally, the course examines risk analysis and mitigation through the use of SWOT analysis, feasibility studies, and PEST analysis. This course is aligned with the ASQ Certified Six Sigma Black Belt certification exam and is designed to assist learners as part of their exam preparation. It builds on foundational knowledge that is taught in SkillSoft's ASQ-aligned Green Belt curriculum.
