If your organization needs to make a significant change in the efficiency of the work done in your company, then WPI's Six Sigma Process Improvement initiative is the program to help you make the cultural changes necessary for success. WPI's Six Sigma Certification provides the structure and expertise that will lead your organization to improved productivity and profitability.
Who Should Attend
The Six Sigma Process Improvement Certificate Program is available only on a customized in-house basis and is structured to include participation by cross-functional teams within your organization.*
Your organization can achieve consistency and Six Sigma quality in every product, process, and transaction by employing the strategies learned in this program. Direct benefits to your bottom line are realized because our faculty incorporates your own organization's processes, products, and data. A special feature of this program includes a team project assigned by senior management at the beginning of the program. Progress checks and completion of the projects are components of the curriculum.
Program Structure
The curriculum includes 10 days of company-focused, continuous improvement training and can be completed in as little as 16-18 weeks. At the end of the program, participants are awarded a WPI Certificate of Completion in Six Sigma Process Improvement.
The Foundation Level: a three-to four-hour executive overview custom designed for your senior management team - the drivers and supporters of your company-wide SSPI initiative.
The Learner Level: Four days of training in the basic tools and techniques of process improvement and team process training with strong emphasis on understanding and satisfying your customers' needs. The Learner Level also features strategies for achieving a healthy environment for work, learning, and continuous improvement.

You will learn how to use these practical tools and techniques effectively and begin to function as your company's "internal resources," serving as trainers, team facilitators, and/or process improvement specialists.
The Academy Level: Four intensive days of customized training in Design of Experiments (DOE) and Advanced Problem Solving for technical professionals and process improvement specialists chosen by your organization to master these critical skill sets for reducing process variability.
