Training objectives
- Preparing the participants to independently implement simple improvement projects according to the Six Sigma methodology.
- The main part of the training is devoted to presentations on how to implement the different stages of a Six Sigma project and which tools to use at these stages.
- While discussing the individual stages and tools, exercises are carried out using the specialized Minitab statistical package.
Estimated contribution of the practical part: 60%
Duration: 3 days for 7 h
