Course Description:

'' Six Sigma is a proven process improvement methodology currently being employed across nearly every type of business and industry including numerous CPI companies. Design for Six Sigma (DfSS) has been developed more recently with the goal to apply the six sigma principles to the design of new products and processes. While Six Sigma is known and implemented in many large corporations, the medium or smaller size companies have been facing the dilemma of making the required investment to implement it and hopefully benefit from these methodologies. The alternative is many time to stay on the current course and miss out on improvements in the overall business, as well as in interactions with “Six Sigma�companies.

This course will provide an introduction and overview of the Six Sigma problem solving and process improvement protocol (DMAIC) and several Design for Six Sigma new product and process design methodologies. There are many Six Sigma consulting companies who are offering their services for all type of businesses. This course is approaching Six Sigma from the point of view of the practicing chemical engineer, with special focus on how Six Sigma can work within the CPI. It will include examples and case studies in order to show the participants the practical value of Six Sigma in the chemical and related industries. The course will serve as a comprehensive introductory class for a person or a company thinking about employing Six Sigma. The participants will gain a clear understanding of the Six Sigma and Design for Six Sigma process, quality and statistical tools. This course should be also useful for recent Six Sigma practitioners to more successfully utilize the Six Sigma methodologies.

Specific Course Objectives:
· Develop an understanding of Six Sigma (DMAIC) process improvement method, when and why Six Sigma should be used, and how to apply it.
· Develop an understanding of the main Design for Six Sigma methodologies for new product and process design and development and the opportunities for their use.
· Obtain the general knowledge and confidence to begin using selected Six Sigma and Design for Six Sigma tools to solve problems and seize opportunities as soon as the course ends.
· Develop an understanding of statistical thinking in the context of Six Sigma methodology.
· Examine chemical processes based examples to better understand how to apply these tools to various CPI functions, operations, and opportunities.
· Get familiar with the deployment process, organizational and support structure, and evolution of Six Sigma in a company including success factors, guidance, and pitfalls.
· Enable participant to either improve their existing Six Sigma activities or initiate Six Sigma based process improvements in their function or company.

Course Audience �Who Should Attend?
You should attend if you are an engineer or a business or technical professional working in the chemical or related industries.
· Chemical/process engineers, mechanical/maintenance/reliability engineers, and process or analytical chemists should find value in learning better where to apply Six Sigma and its suite of tools to improve their various CPI operations and functions.
· Managers and technical leaders should attend if they want to develop a better understanding of what the Six Sigma improvement process is, see specifically how its tools add value, improve their own problem solving and decision making skills by examining statistical thinking and the Six Sigma philosophy, and examine key factors that contribute to Six Sigma success in the CPI.

Course Style and Special Features:
· The course will be presented using PowerPoint slides.
· The printed copy of the presentation material should serve as a basic Six Sigma reference and glossary for the students.
· The course will include extensive class participation, examples, and team breakout activities to enrich the presentation material and help synthesize the key concepts.

Assessment Measures:
Participants will be continuously evaluated by a number of means throughout the course, including:
· Assessing participation in and results from group activities and breakout sessions
· Asking probing questions to determine individual and group understanding of material (during lecture and group discussions and in group breakouts)
· Directly asking if participants if they understand the material or have questions
· Studying body language and expressions during lectures and group discussions
