Pedagogy
The steps of the method and the tools are taught on the basis of a case study.
Exercises are used to train participants in their role as project team leaders.
- During this training, it is recommended that the participants apply the concepts and tools taught during the intersession on a 6 Sigma project of their organisation; a feedback is done at the beginning of the second week.
- As the DMAIC stages progress, computer aids are provided and used (Excel files) in order to allow the formalisation of results (chart, SIPOC, CTQ Matrix, etc.) and the use of simple statistical tools (control chart, capability, etc.).
This training is offered in 4 sessions of 2 days.
Evaluation mode
- Knowledge test (MCQ).
Course materials
-
Participant’s file containing the presentations delivered during the training and the exercise materials.
