INTRODUCTION

Six Sigma is a set of techniques and tools for process improvement. It was introduced by engineer Bill Smith while working at Motorola in 1986. Jack Welch made it central to his business strategy at General Electric in 1995. Today, it is used in many industrial sectors.

Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects (driving toward sixstandard deviations between the mean and the nearest specification limit) in any process – from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service.

This overview course is designed to provide a broad understanding of the Six Sigma improvement methodology, concepts, and language. The Define-Measure-Analyze-Improve-Control methodology is presented with case studies and examples drawn from service, business process, and manufacturing applications. The integration of Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma is also addressed. With a heavy practice orientation, as much as a third of your time will be spent working through interactive practice exercises and online assessments.
This course is a multimedia, interactive learning experience, with audio lectures, slide shows, virtual classroom discussion, online notebook, toolbox, quizzes, glossary, and help feature. All course content is available on demand (asynchronous format), and can be started or stopped at any time to provide maximum scheduling flexibility. Java-based media delivery is employed to consume minimal bandwidth, and is not blocked by most firewalls. You will have 60 days to assess this course.

CONCLUSION

Six Sigma looks at all work as a series of processes with inherent variations, which can cause waste or inefficiency. Focusing on those processes with greatest impact on business performance, as defined by leadership teams, the methodology involves statistical analysis to quantify repeated common cause variations - which can then be reduced by the Six Sigma team. Six Sigma becomes a continuous process for quality improvement and cost reduction flowing throughout the company.
