• Apply Advanced Analytics: Utilize the 7 Quality Tools, hypothesis testing, regression, and Design of Experiments (DoE).
• Deliver Strategic Value: Lead local optimization projects and seamlessly support Black Belts on large-scale corporate initiatives.

Course Structure & Delivery

To ensure maximum workplace impact, the course structure explicitly meets the recommended ISSP training and assessment guidelines:

• Classroom Modules: 8 days of intensive, hands-on classroom instruction.
