Program Overview

In the course of your Six Sigma Black Belt training, you study the five-phase DMAIC approach in detail, using a simulation experience as the foundation along with a combination of informal lecture, small group breakout sessions, and hands-on practice.

• Define – gain working knowledge of critical tools to ensure that a project is well defined in scope, expectations, resources, and timeline.
• Measure – learn and practice employing tools to quantify the “problem” using actual data.
• Analyze – learn to analyze the Six Sigma process map and apply statistical tools to validate root causes of problems.
• Improve – participants are introduced to various methods of solution identification, prioritization, and implementation.
• Control – develop process control systems to ensure that the process does not revert to the “old way” over time. Six Black Belt participants enlist the support of process owners to insure long term process success.

Black Belt Certification is obtained by completing the following steps:

• Attend DESARA’s four week Black Belt course (8 hours of coaching included).
