Overview
Six Sigma is the step-oriented process of involvement using statistical tools, which enable organizations to identify a non-performing business process, understand the basic causes of problems, analyze and improve upon contributing factors, and finally sustain steady gains in improvements. Cognixia’s Six Sigma Black Belt Certification program entails the modern-day process improvement practices which leading organizations are adopting. Also, it covers proponents of Six Sigma in the service industry and engineering companies within the IC framework.
