Transform your organization with MRC’s Six Sigma courses that go beyond just education and drive real change through project implementation.
Bridge the gap to practical implementation. This is not your ordinary training course. Most Six Sigma courses seek to educate. Only MRC trains and assists you in the actual implementation of your project.
Case studies don’t cut it here. Your Six Sigma project is chosen by you to drive change on a real organizational issue. Successful completion means you are improving product quality, enhancing customer service and saving your company money.
Project Mentoring is expected, not optional. The instructor goes above and beyond to ensure you are successful. Course price includes (4) individualized onsite project mentoring meetings. Mentoring by a Master Black Belt helps ensure a solid ROI on your first project.
Six Sigma Black Belt includes the first 10 days of Green Belt, plus 7 days of Black Belt material. This format is designed to support companies sending multiple participants to training, improving synergy and shared learning within the organization. In addition to what is taught during the Green Belt days the last 7 days of Black Belt training will focus on:
• Advanced Regression and ANOVA
• Advanced Capability
• Design of Experiments (DOE)
• Non-Parametric Distribution (s)
• Logistic Regression
Designed for senior level decision makers, general managers, supervisors, and group leaders to help improve business processes and sustain quality improvements.
• Noise and Variation Reduction in DOE
• Improve and Control Phase Review
• Advanced Capability Analysis
• DOE Split Plot Designs
• DOE Screening Designs
| • Hypothesis Testing of Non- Normal Data |
• Noise and Variation Reduction in DOE |
| • Advanced Multiple Linear Regression |
• Improve and Control Phase Review |
| • Correlation | • Advanced Capability Analysis |
| • Logistic Regression | • DOE Split Plot Designs |
| • Design of Experiments (DOE) | • DOE Screening Designs |
| • Full and Fractional DOE |
After successfully completing the Six Sigma Black Belt course participants will be able to utilize multiple regression, determine recommended DOE sample size, perform and verify results for designed experiments. Typically, Black Belt projects save $50k to $100k in cost savings in process improvement.
