About this course
The Six Sigma Green Belt specialization from Kennesaw State University teaches you how to improve business processes. This course focuses on the advanced principles and tools of Six Sigma, specifically covering the Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control (DMAIC) phases. You learn to identify problems, measure current performance, analyze root causes, implement solutions, and maintain improvements.
This specialization helps you apply structured methods to reduce defects and waste in various operations. The curriculum starts with an advanced look at Six Sigma within an organization. It then moves through the Define and Measure phases, where you learn to set project goals and collect data. The Analyze phase teaches you how to interpret data to find problems. Finally, the Improve and Control phases focus on developing and sustaining solutions.
Upon completing this program, you can help organizations enhance their quality assurance using proven Six Sigma principles and tools. The skills you gain are useful for process improvement roles. This specialization also helps prepare you for professional certification in Six Sigma courses, as its principles align with the "Certified Six Sigma Green Belt Handbook" used for ASQ certification training.
While this Six Sigma Green Belt specialization is for beginners, a "Yellow Belt" level of knowledge about Six Sigma is highly recommended before starting. Most learners complete this specialization in about 4 months. If you are new to Six Sigma, consider starting with the Six Sigma Yellow Belt course on Coursera. For those seeking a free option, the Six Sigma: Certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt (Accredited) course on Udemy is available. If you already hold a Green Belt and wish to advance further, the Six Sigma Black Belt specialization is designed for more experienced professionals.
