  • Includes Assessment
  • Earns a Badge
  • Certification CPE
A Six Sigma Black Belt must measure the processes behind an organization's products and services to improve them. Among the many Six Sigma tools, several are specifically designed to identify and prioritize process input and output variables and their importance relative to customer or business requirements. In this course, learn about processes and process flow metrics. Next, explore process cycle efficiency (PCE) influencing factors, calculations, and best practices for improvement. Finally, examine measurement best practices and various analysis tools. This course is aligned with the ASQ Certified Six Sigma Black Belt certification exam and is designed to assist learners as part of their exam preparation. It builds on foundational knowledge that is taught in Skillsoft's ASQ-aligned Green Belt curriculum.
