Course Name
Six Sigma Green Belt Personal Training Library
Contact Hours: 24
Course Description
The Six Sigma Green Belt Library gives one learner access to four core Green Belt courses: Six Sigma StartUp, DMAIC Problem-Solving, SPC Workout, and Mistake-Proof It! The Green Belt Library is a prerequisite to
the Black Belt Library.
Six Sigma Start-Up is an introductory course on the principles and practices of Six Sigma. (1 Unit; 1
Assessment; Approximately 3 hours of training.)
DMAIC teaches learners the DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) problem-solving process as
well as tutorials on over 50 data collection and analysis tools such as Pareto diagrams, fishbone diagrams, and
flowcharts to name just a few. (2 Units; 2 Assessments; Approximately 7 hours of training.)
SPC Workout is a basic yet comprehensive course that makes understanding and applying statistical process
control concepts easy. Basic statistics used to analyze patterns of variations, the use of control charts, and
measures of measures of process capability are covered in the course. (3 Units; 3 Assessments;
Approximately 6 hours of training.)
Mistake-Proof It! training includes a comprehensive background on techniques as well as the steps required to
implement those techniques. Over 150 examples of mistake-proofing are included. (4 Units; 3 Assessments;
Approximately 8 hours of training.)

capacity including:








Understand the principles, practices, and terminology of Six Sigma.
Be exposed to team problem-solving methodologies.
Recognize the importance of the use of data to solve problems.
Learn how to use data analysis tools and techniques to measure, analyze, improve, and control
processes and their outcomes.
Understand how to use basic statistics to analyze patterns of variations.
Learn how to use control charts.

Assessment




Each of the four courses is self-contained with exercises throughout that are self-assessment
"quizzes."
Each of the four courses has End-of-Unit automated and self-scoring exams (called Challenges) that
evaluate student progress, comprehension, and provide constructive feedback on areas of deficiency.
Evaluation of student performance for each course will be based upon the following criteria: Final
exams = 100% of course grade. Courses must be completed within 3 months of the assigned date.
Each of the four courses is self-contained with exercises throughout that are self-assessment
"quizzes."
