Program Overview

Lean and Six Sigma were developed as two separate methodologies to remove waste and improve quality in an enterprise. The overlap in the principles, tools and skill sets utilized by both methods has led to a synergy in how they are applied in conjunction with each other in an organization. By completing this certificate, students will gain knowledge to utilize and apply key lean and six sigma tools, techniques and methods. This certificate will include a lean course, a six sigma quality course, a statistical methods course and other complementary courses to provide the students with exposure to the skills that are required to be an effective problem solver.
