SDSU Research Foundation Program

This comprehensive certificate is designed for mastery of one of the fundamental Six Sigma methodologies. This approach, known as the DMAIC (define, measure, analyze, improve, control) is a road map for problem-solving and product/process improvement used to reduce defects and meet bottom-line performance goals. Understanding the DMAIC is critical to your future success as a Black Belt, Green Belt, Champion, or Process Owner.
