Delivery Options ON-LINE

Course Description

When leading organizations get serious about improving processes and optimizing quality, they turn to Lean Six Sigma (LSS) methodology. In this five-session micro course, you’ll acquire fundamental skills and techniques needed to execute LSS projects. You’ll learn to identify opportunities for improvement, calculate the cost of poor quality and plan a solution that addresses five distinct LSS phases: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC). You’ll emerge with a keener understanding of why things go wrong and how to design measurable improvements when they do.

Within 4-6 weeks of successfully completing this course, you will receive your micro-credential indicating achievement of the outlined learning outcomes and competencies/skills. Micro-credentials are tamper proof, verifiable, blockchain-based and 100% digital. They can be shared on social media, including LinkedIn and Facebook, embedded in websites or downloaded as PDFs.
