Employees from Yokohama Tire recently completed 11 days of scheduled training days over six months in a Six Sigma course offered by CAVS-Extension. Both Green Belt and Black Belt courses are offered and teach participants how to maximize and sustain business success by reducing the cost of quality, increasing process efficiency, and providing a structure for continuous improvement. Six Sigma can be applied to almost any industry and is a highly disciplined process that helps companies focus on continuously improving customer satisfaction and profits.
CAVS-E's Six Sigma Green Belt and Black Belt Certifications consist of the required 88 hours of training. Each participant is required to implement techniques and tools on an approved project and receives consulting support to assist with the successful completion of their project. Six Sigma certification is given a "Belt" title that corresponds to the participant's level of experience and depth of study. CAVS-E participants can earn either a Green Belt or a Black Belt. The Green Belt receives instruction in the basic use of statistical data analysis, with an emphasis on team problem-solving techniques. Black Belts should be able to lead a team and are knowledgeable of the use of more advanced statistical data analysis, designed experiments, and project management.
