- Cause and effect analysis
- Process capability analysis.
Those who successfully complete the program will earn Six Sigma Green Belt certification from KU.

“This in-person return marks an exciting opportunity for professionals to connect face-to-face, collaborate and apply Lean Six Sigma principles in a dynamic learning environment,” McCain said.
