This reference manual is designed to help those interested in passing the ASQ’s certification exam for Six Sigma Green Belts, those who may need to train future green belts, and others who want a handy reference to the appropriate materials needed to conduct successful green belt projects. This latest entry in ASQ's popular series of handbooks explicitly follows the certification's Body of Knowledge and addresses each topic to exactly the level green belts need. From lean and project management to statistics and data analysis, the DMAIC process is explained in a clear and insightful manner. Figures, tables, references, and useful appendices only add to this book's comprehensiveness.Content:Front MatterCD-ROM Contents List of Figures and Tables Introduction: The ASQ Certification Process Table of ContentsPart I.
