Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) Certification
Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) provides methodologies and tools for designing quality into products, services and processes. It provides details with appropriate exercises in the tools, techniques and skills needed to effectively lead and implement design projects.
Course Benefits: Attendees learn Product DFSS or Transactional DFSS to successfully lead the deployment of DFSS in the organization.
