Program Overview
The Center’s Lean/Six-Sigma learning curriculum intention is to provide Lean/Six-Sigma
training to corporations and organizational resources for the advancement of knowledge, skill
and work performance. All of the Center’s programs are based on learning performance
exercises, facilitator practicing experiences and knowledge to assist and cultivate the
learner’s abilities.
As one of many business efficiency and measurement tools, the Center’s Six Sigma
incorporates top level facilitator skills and experiences with the participants learning.
Six Sigma is here to stay and is having a huge impact on continuous improvement based
organizations. The names may change by industry; in healthcare, Black Belts are often
called Guides, and the US Military has committed tremendous amounts of energy and resources
to bringing together the best of Lean and Six Sigma tools. Many business services companies
and application development organizations are using Six Sigma tools as a required tool for
strength and competitiveness.
As companies strive to become better, and operate faster, Six Sigma makes more sense in
helping companies and resources identify costs, waste and inefficiencies. It has become a
universal methodology to attack these negative causes in business processes through accurate
measurement of errors and point to venues for elimination. Any process, shop floor, back
office or corporate leadership can be a target for improvement; the ability to measure errors
and remove them is a universal theme.
Program Objectives
The Center’s Executive Champions Program is where the path begins. This 1-day program
