Advanced Six Sigma

Catalog description

This course will build on the knowledge students gained in the Introduction to Six Sigma course.

The class will feature guest speakers and possibly field trips to companies who are using the Six Sigma philosophy and tools. Additionally, the philosophy and tools students will learn will be used in study engineering, supply chains, manufacturing, and administrative systems. Performance will be measured with in-class examinations and quizzes, individual/group case analyses, and other suitable methods.
