Students must register for week 1 and week 2 of this course at the same time.

Begin the upgrade from Green Belt to Black Belt certification, learning advanced levels of the Six Sigma roadmap and extensive statistical methodologies. Learn to create stable processes with near zero defects, study the techniques of process improvement projects and how to best support Green Belt level projects, and manage Black Belt level projects with a typical value of $100,000+.

Following the Six Sigma business methodology, you'll use problem solving and data analysis tools in a structured format. Learn ways to bring about incremental improvements and maintain a process within customer specifications that are in line with business goals.

Through lecture and classroom exercises, you'll work through example problems and complete assignments individually and in a group. This course is taken with Black Belt Certification Week 2, and after the two-week training period, you will submit a completed project for review by a Master Black Belt for certification.

NOTE: You must be Green Belt certified by Six Sigma.us or a program providing a similar level of training, and you must be able to provide proof of certification.

Certification Requirements:

You must attend all training and participate in all training exercises. If you miss more than one day of training, make up work must be completed before a training certificate or PDUs will be issued. Project should be submitted to Six Sigma.us within 6 months of the last day of training for certification. Projects should illustrate an understanding of the tools and concepts of Black Belt level training.

What You'll Learn

• Multiple regression
• Perform Factorial Experiments
• Determine size calculations needed for experiments
• Types of Optimization
• How Optimization affects process

Who Needs to Attend

Members of an organization that will lead process improvement initiatives.

Prerequisites

Green Belt certification by Six Sigma.us or a program providing a similar level of training. You must be able to provide proof of certification and you must bring your own copy of Minitab software to class.
