- Introduction to Design of Experiments (DOE) and its application to ICH Quality by Design
- Statistical Process Control (Control Charts)
- Determination of sample size (AQL)
- Requirements Analysis for DFSS: Quality Function Deployment (House of Quality), Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)
- Concept Selection toolkit: FAST, Morphological Box, Pugh-matrix, Value Analysis
- Risk Management Methods: FMEA and FTA
Managers and employees interested in applying Six Sigma or Design for Six Sigma tools in root cause analysis, in the design of new processes, services or devices, as well as in fact based decision making in general. Participants can receive Green Belt Certification after successfully completing and submitting a Green Belt project. A project can be selected before, during or after attending the course.
