Purdue to offer Six Sigma training in Plymouth
October 3, 2012
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University's Manufacturing Extension Partnership Center will offer Six Sigma training programs in Plymouth starting Oct. 17.
Six Sigma is a customer-focused waste and variation reduction program. It combines a detailed roadmap with powerful statistical tools to attack and resolve most critical business issues. Successful Six Sigma projects produce measurable results and help increase a company's skills in process optimization and continuous improvement.
With Six Sigma training, employees learn to make decisions based on data. They are trained to look at the business from a customer's perspective. And the training can lead to a culture change in how employees approach their jobs.
Six Sigma training will be held at the Marshall County WorkOne Express office in Plymouth. Six Sigma Green Belt costs $2,000 per person and runs Oct. 17-18 and 24-25, and Nov. 7-8. Six Sigma Black Belt costs $3,000 per person and runs Oct. 17-18 and 24-25; Nov. 7-8, 14 and 28; and Dec. 5, 12, and 19-20.
