Six Sigma Green Belt

Six Sigma is an integrated, disciplined, and proven approach for improving business performance, providing tangible business results and savings. Six Sigma Green Belts are able to participate in and deliver defined Six Sigma projects, and implement quality initiatives throughout an organization.

Florida Atlantic University's Six Sigma Green Belt certification program introduces participants to enhanced problem-solving skills, using the 'DMAIC' (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) model, and provides the knowledge and skills needed to form and facilitate Six Sigma teams and manage Six Sigma projects.

In addition, Florida Atlantic University's Six Sigma certifications include Lean components. Six Sigma's focus on quality complements Lean technique's focus on efficiencies; and when combined, these skills promote business and operational excellence.

Participants will learn how to apply statistical methods and the DMAIC model for business process improvements as well as how to:

• Communicate business strategy across the organization
• Integrate with Lean Manufacturing, TOC, & other improvement methods
• Apply the 'DMAIC' model for improvement to current projects
• Select successful Six Sigma projects and project teams
• Plan and execute projects, implementing the Six Sigma methodology
• Increase profitability by utilizing the Six Sigma methodology
• Select the right statistical tools to track and measure improvement
• Implement tools, techniques and practices to achieve cost reductions, and quality improvement within their organization

The certification program will focus on service and information systems/information technology business processes as well as manufacturing processes, and examples from both types of businesses will be included.

The program will stress the connection between project management and Six Sigma, and how project managers can and will be more successful when using the Six Sigma approach and Six Sigma tools and techniques.
