    June 24-26, 2014

    9:00am - 5:00pm

    Learn how to integrate principles of business, statistics and engineering to achieve tangible results. Master the use of Six Sigma to quantify the critical quality issues in your company. Once the issues have been quantified, statistics can be applied to provide probabilities of success and failure. Six Sigma methods increase productivity and enhance quality. As a Six Sigma green belt, you will be equipped to support and champion a Six Sigma implementation in your organization. To earn the Six Sigma Green Belt Certificate, you will be required to pass the Institute of Industrial Engineer's green belt exam (administered on the final day of the course).

    During this course you will have the opportunity to apply what you have learned to an actual issue you face in your organization. Prior seminar participants have reported significant savings from implementing their projects.

    - A financial services organization saw $128,000 in cost savings per quarter when they reduced transaction processing rework
    - A state agency reduced project cost over-runs by 28 percent
    - A transportation company saved more than $875,000 per year in turnover costs by improving the employee communications process
    - Reduced errors in a painting operation led to increased first pass acceptance and more than $197,000 in annual savings

    - A wave solder operation saw defects reduced by half and costs reduced by $60,000 per year
