This course is a refresher study of the ASQ Certified Six Sigma Green Belt Body of Knowledge. It may also be used to prepare for the IASSC Green Belt certification exam, since ASQ and IASSC use a very similar body of knowledge. Topics include business process management, quality management techniques, project management, DMAIC methodology, statistical applications and methods, design of experiments, lean enterprise principles, and Design for Six Sigma. The student will focus on the methodology and application of these Green Belt skills by studying the assigned materials and taking sample exams containing questions similar to those on the actual CSSGB exam. These sample exams and their answers will be reviewed as part of preparation for the certification exam. Note that this course does not include the ASQ certification exam.
