Six Sigma Black Belt Certification

Ten Day Workshop
March 24 - 28, 2008
April 28 - May 2, 2008

Plan to attend our Six Sigma Certification Program for Engineers and Quality Professionals. As a participant, you will receive advanced Six Sigma instruction and interact with knowledgeable and seasoned professionals. You will undertake a process that will expand your knowledge, positively affect business performance and customer satisfaction.

Participants will discover how to apply Six Sigma methods to solve technical uncertainties. The focus is on the in-depth understanding of Six Sigma theories and applications. This includes the use of measurement, inferential statistics, experimental design and analysis, and process control methods including robust parameter and tolerance design.

This program is specifically designed for engineers and quality professionals. The overall program goal is to develop individuals with the necessary skills to implement, sustain, and visibly lead process and product improvement projects. Through the effective application of our process to scientific discovery, participants assist organizations to achieve “best-in-class” status by solving technical uncertainties that affect process and product performance, improve the organizations bottom-line while significantly increasing customer satisfaction.
