Introduction
The Six Sigma Green Belt training program equips professionals with the knowledge and tools to drive process improvement initiatives within their organizations. Using the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control) methodology, participants will learn how to reduce defects, improve efficiency, and enhance quality in business processes.
This program focuses on practical applications of Six Sigma principles, integrating data-driven decision-making, statistical analysis, and root cause identification to minimize waste and improve customer satisfaction. Through interactive case studies, hands-on exercises, and real-world applications, attendees will gain the skills necessary to lead and support Six Sigma projects.
