Objective: This training imparts in-depth knowledge of Six Sigma methodology; effective leadership of a Six Sigma team in terms of product value, schedule and cost; an ability to manage project risk.

Participants: Six Sigma Green Belt candidates. For maximum benefit companies are advised to select persons with product/process knowledge.

Duration: The Green Belt training comprises the following 2 stages.

(a) DMAIC - This consists of phased modules (Define & Measure, Analyse, Improve & Control) of 10 training days in case of Manufacturing and Transactional Services corporates, and 6 training days in case of Software and IT corporates, who have consultancy assignments with us. In case of open enrollment/public training, and corporates without any consultancy assignments with us, the course would consist of 5 contiguous training days.

(b) DFSS(DMADV) - For Software & IT sector, the DMAIC training is followed by 5 or 6 training days of DFSS (DMADV) training.

Under both (a) and (b) above, these phased training modules are interspersed with a month long live project for corporates who have consultancy assignments with us. For open enrollment/public training, and corporates without any consultancy assignments with us, the 5 days' training is for a contiguous period, and a case study is used instead of a project. The live projects and case studies give the students the opportunity to immediately apply the knowledge gained to real life situations.

Note: Whereas for the Manufacturing and Transactional Services verticals, major emphasis of the training is on the DMAIC methodology, for the Software and IT sector, there is a definite need for the Belts to be trained in the DFSS methodology as well. As such, we cover DFSS training as a separate module, which is strongly recommended for the Software and IT people – but is not applicable for the Manufacturing and Services people.

Pre-Requisites : Each student must have a laptop computer and, where consultancy is involved, come prepared with a live potential Six Sigma project on which the student will be required to work in the intervening period between different training modules.

Certification: On successful completion of this program, the candidates will get a Green Belt certification jointly from DSS Systems & Software Technologies Ltd., India and Six Sigma Advantage Inc., USA.
