DESIGN FOR SIX SIGMA MASTER BLACK BELT TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION FOR INDUSTRIAL PARTICIPANTS

Course Description

SigmaPro's highly effective Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) Master Black Belt training and certification program is a detailed and informative treatment of the issues involved in developing, deploying and sustaining a successful DFSS program.  SigmaPro's extensive experience in DFSS deployment and training provides a singularly unique perspective that will assist service and industrial Master Black Belts in deciding how, where, when, and why DFSS should be implemented.  Participants will discuss a deployment plan based on strategic product or service launch criteria and the desired financial performance as well as how to allocate resources and manage the DFSS effort.  Participants will also gain an in-depth knowledge of the most popular DFSS strategy -- Define-Measure-Analyze-Design-Validate (DMADV) as well as the technical tools to support the DMADV DFSS strategy.  To facilitate learning and increase knowledge retention, this training is delivered in two 5-day training blocks which are typically separated by one month.
