In this course we will be covering Everything from the basics. We will begin with - What is Six Sigma and move onto how it helps with decision making, it's application, types of qualifications, challenges faced, advantages, when to use and also cover processes like DMAIC(Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control)

Six Sigma is a set of techniques and tools for process improvement. Sigma emphasizes cycle-time improvement while at the same time reducing manufacturing defects to a level of no more than 3.4 occurrences per million units or events.

The premise of Six Sigma is that variation in a process leads to opportunities for error; opportunities for error then lead to risks for product defects. Product defects—lead to poor customer satisfaction. By working to reduce variation and opportunities for error, the Six Sigma method ultimately reduces process costs and increases customer satisfaction.
