INSC 71020: Six Sigma Green Belt for Managers

This course builds upon concepts and methods from other MBA courses and supplements these to complete the requirements for a Six Sigma Green Belt certification. Topics include the Six Sigma process (DMAIC), process improvement tools, statistical process control, process capability measures, and management of improvement projects. Students will apply their skills to an improvement project (a typical requirement for any Green Belt certification). Upon successful completion of the course, students will receive a Green Belt Certification from the Neeley School. Students should also be sufficiently equipped to gain a similar certification from any other source.

Students should be able to:

1. Communicate with the basic terminology of Six Sigma.

2. Articulate the role and benefits of Six Sigma in process improvement.

3. Apply the Six Sigma methods and tools typically used at each stage of the DMAIC process.

4. Analyze process performance and change using statistical methods and tools.

5. Define, measure, and analyze a real operational process.

6. Apply appropriate Six Sigma tools and techniques to recommend real operational improvements through an individual project.
