OVERVIEW

Learn how to integrate principles of business, statistics and engineering to achieve tangible results. Master the use of Six Sigma to quantify the critical quality issues in your company. Once the issues have been quantified, apply statistics to provide probabilities of success and failure. Six Sigma methods increase productivity and enhance quality. As a Six Sigma green belt, you will be equipped to support and champion Six Sigma implementation in your organization. The final afternoon of the class you will have the option to take IISE's green belt exam. The exam is included in the course fee. Participants who pass the exam receive IISE's Six Sigma Green Belt Certification. Participants will need to complete suggested readings and work practice problems in addition to viewing the online presentations as they prepare to successfully complete the certification requirements.

This Six Sigma Green Belt CERTIFICATION is valid for three years and must be renewed by emailing cs@iise.org. There will be a $50 fee to cover administrative costs associated with the renewal. Lost certificates may be replaced using the same process.

Prior seminar participants have reported significant savings from implementing their projects.

• A financial services organization saw $128,000 in cost savings per quarter when they reduced transaction processing rework.
• A state agency reduced project cost over-runs by 28 percent.
• A transportation company saved more than $875,000 per year in turnover costs by improving the employee communications process.
• Reduced errors in a painting operation led to increased first pass acceptance and more than $197,000 in annual savings.
• A Web developer increased annual profits by 10 percent by cutting cycle time.
• A wave solder operation saw defects reduced by half and costs reduced by $60,000 per year.

TESTIMONIAL

[I want] to say how much of a pleasure it was to have you for an instructor. Throughout the course, it was very apparent that you were incredibly experienced with all of the principles the course was designed to teach. I have rarely been instructed by someone who thoroughly knows the subject matter, enjoys the material and can appropriately teach it. The additional information you provided regarding job searching was something no one else had ever mentioned to me, and it was also very useful. Thank you for passing on a little of your hard-earned experience to the next generation.
