Program Description

Industrial engineers and other professionals are often asked to champion organizational efforts to improve performance in some area. These activities are referred to as Process Improvement or Continuous Improvement initiatives and are the focus of Six Sigma methodology. It is not unusual for management in any organization to want to improve performance even if Six Sigma is not a formal program within the company.

The courses in the certificate provide education in quality system principles, methodology and standards.
