Many students choose our Lean & DFSS Six Sigma program as an alternative to our Green Belt Certification Program. This program covers many of the specifics that are covered in the Green Belt Program, however also teaches DFSS and Lean processes.

Design for Six Sigma (DFSS)

Companies that implement a Six Sigma program find that a majority of defects are actually created during the design process. As companies' processes begin to exceed Five Sigma, they typically hit a "wall" that requires a redesign of some or all of the processes. This process of redesign is called Design For Six Sigma (DFSS). DFSS is a rigorous approach to designing products and services as well as enabling processes from the very beginning to ensure that they produce Six Sigma-quality products and services and that they meet customer expectations.

Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma

The Lean approach systematically reduces waste in the value stream. It not only covers defective products, but all types of defective work. It identifies defects, overproduction, inventories (in process or finished goods), unnecessary processing, unnecessary movement of people, unnecessary transport of goods, waiting, and designing goods and services that don't meet customer's needs.

Our course integrates the principles of DMADV (Define, Measure, Analyze,
Design, and Verify) This results in product designs that consistently meet customer requirements, target costs, target release dates, and manufacturability requirements.

Six Sigma Online's Lean & DFSS curriculum rivals that of the American Society for Quality (ASQ) standard of certification for Black Belts. As a Six Sigma
graduate, you will not only make an impact upon your career, but upon your
life.
