Course Description

Greenbelt Body of knowledge:

✅Module-1: SIX SIGMA AND THE ORGANIZATION

Value of Six Sigma: Recognize why organizations use Six Sigma, History of Six Sigma. Juran, Deming, Shewhart, Ishikawa’s philosophy of Quality

Organizational goals and Six Sigma projects: Describe how Lean Six Sigma projects influence the organization as a whole.

Organizational drivers and metrics: Profit, market share, customer satisfaction, efficiency, product differentiation. Balanced Scorecard.

Lean Principles in the Organization

Value chain, flow, 7 wastes, and 3Ms

Design for Six Sigma (DFSS): Distinguish between DMADV (define, measure, analyze, design, verify) and IDOV (identify, design, optimize, verify), and recognize how they align with DMAIC.
