Six Sigma Black Belt
Certificate and Certification

This ten-day Black Belt program is designed to provide application-oriented Six Sigma training. Participants will master this powerful methodology and learn how to apply Six Sigma in their current environment. Many organizations have achieved amazing results on their bottom line through the application of Six Sigma. Although 10 days in length, this rivals the current more popular programs that can take from four-to-six weeks to complete. This program can accommodate both technical and business professionals because of the diversity of examples used to demonstrate the methodology.

• Finance: Reduced monthly close time 15 days to 1 day; reduced accounts receivable imputed interest by $2 million/yr in a $20 million company.
