EMGT 6110 - Principles of Six Sigma

Application of statistics to control of quality and reliability in products and services, including training in the Six Sigma DMAIC problem-solving methodology. Topics include: tools and techniques for statistically-based product and process improvement; design of acceptance sampling and process control systems, including attention to inspection and test methods; and design and implementation of quality assurance programs, including nonstatistical dimensions of quality systems.
