Course Overview

The Six Sigma online course focuses on the operational and strategic issues observed in process development. Students will understand Six-sigma as a measure of quality that enables them to achieve perfection through disciplined and data-driven approaches in eliminating defects. The process proves beneficial in almost all the procedures involved in transactional, manufacturing, and services.

Spread over twelve weeks, the Six Sigma training throws light on the systematic approach of Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, and Control (DMAIC) for improving processes. This online course will provide students with a detailed understanding of different issues concerning each phase of DMAIC. This training also includes real-time industry examples, cases, and MINITAB software applications to offer learners practical knowledge.

IIT Kharagpur has specifically designed the Six Sigma certification syllabus to align with the current industry standards. Thus, the course can equally satisfy both university students' and industry-experienced professionals’ needs. Students can also obtain accreditation for this AICTE approved FDP curriculum, built for postgraduate/undergraduate learners.
