Certification Body Selection: You can select from IASSC (250 USD, 60 questions, 2 hours), ASQ (347 USD for members, 90 questions, 2.3 hours), or CSSC (99 USD, 50 questions, 1 hour) based on your budget and desired industry recognition.
Course Modules & Curriculum
Lesson 1: Process Mapping & Documentation
Stop accepting ambiguous processes. You will learn to create value stream maps, detailed flowcharts, and swim lane diagrams that expose hidden waste, redundant steps, and handoff delays in any process?manufacturing or transactional.
Lesson 2: Data Collection & Sampling Techniques
Understand that opinions don't drive improvement?data does. Learn to design data collection plans, select appropriate sampling methods, and distinguish between continuous and discrete data. Master operational definitions that ensure data consistency across multiple collectors.
Lesson 3: Measurement System Analysis (MSA) Basics
Learn to validate your measurement system before trusting the data. Understand Gage R&R studies, accuracy, precision, and stability. Recognize when measurement error is masking true process variation and how to fix it before proceeding to analysis.
Lesson 1: Descriptive Statistics & Data Visualization
Move beyond Excel averages. You will learn to calculate mean, median, mode, range, variance, and standard deviation. Master histograms, box plots, scatter diagrams, and run charts that reveal patterns invisible in spreadsheet tables.
Lesson 2: Process Capability Analysis
Understand whether your process can actually meet customer specifications. Learn to calculate Cp, Cpk, Pp, and Ppk indices. Interpret sigma levels and understand what "six sigma quality" actually means in real-world terms.
Lesson 3: Root Cause Analysis Tools
Master the core techniques: Fishbone (Ishikawa) diagrams, 5 Whys analysis, and Pareto charts. Learn when each technique is appropriate and how to facilitate root cause sessions without wasting everyone's time chasing symptoms instead of causes.
Lesson 1: The 8 Wastes of Lean
Identify and eliminate waste systematically. Learn to recognize Defects, Overproduction, Waiting, Non-Utilized Talent, Transportation, Inventory, Motion, and Extra-Processing (DOWNTIME) in manufacturing, service, and transactional processes.
Lesson 2: Kaizen & Rapid Improvement Events
Understand that not every improvement requires a six-month Black Belt project. Learn to facilitate rapid kaizen events that deliver measurable results in days, not months. Master 5S workplace organization and visual management techniques.
