About the Course

This course is for you if you are looking to dive deeper into Six Sigma or strengthen and expand your knowledge of the basic components of green belt level of Six Sigma and Lean. Six Sigma skills are widely sought by employers both nationally and internationally. These skills have been proven to help improve business processes and performance. This course will take you deeper into the principles and tools associated with the "Improve" and "Control" phases of the DMAIC structure of Six Sigma. It is highly recommended that you complete the "Yellow Belt Specialization" and the courses "Six Sigma and the Organization (Advanced)," "Six Sigma Advanced Define and Measure Phase," and "Six Sigma Advanced Analyze Phase" before beginning this course. In this course, your instructors will introduce you to, and have you apply, some of the tools and metrics that are critical components of Six Sigma. This course will provide you with the advanced knowledge of root cause analysis, lean tools, control plan, process control, and statistical process control (SPC) as they are associated with Six Sigma and Lean. Every module will include readings, videos, and quizzes to help make sure you understand the material and concepts that are studied. Registration includes online access to course content, projects, and resources but does not include the companion text The Certified Six Sigma Green Belt Handbook (2nd edition). The companion text is NOT required to complete the assignments. However, the text is a recognized handbook used by professionals in the field. Also, it is a highly-recommended text for those wishing to move forward in Six Sigma and eventually gain certification from professional agencies such as American Society for Quality (ASQ)....

Introductory overview -- this will not really prepare you well for an exam. For a product that revolves around quality improvement systems, this one ironically has noticeable spelling errors and a few things that were simply incorrect. Much of it is simply a re-hash of the book that is to accompany the videos, which in turn frequently are just reading parts of the book back to the viewer. There are whole sections that consist mostly of instructors verbally reading off complex mathematical formulas, which is not helpful.

Slides are not helpful, for example when explaining graphs and plots they don't even show examples. Also, the contents of the specialization cover just one portion of SSGB and the capstone project is not designed in a manner that helps the students to understand and apply concepts.

My criticism of this course and reason for providing only 1 star is based on the Capstone project required for completion of course. The requirement is understandably based on completion of an actual project performed for a real business but this would require a minimum of several months to complete. Many students will not have access to resources necessary to execute a project that would meaningfully demonstrate the skills learned in the Green belt courses. I suggest that Coursera creates a simulation that would require students prepare necessary documents based on a hypothetical process improvement, possibly starting from an investigation into a product deviation. Feedback could be provided at each stage of Design, Measure, Improve, and Control stages and once successful they could move on and be presented with additional materials necessary to carry the simulation forward. This would be much more useful for teaching practical application of skill and also for demonstrating ability to apply concepts.

You will have to wait months if not years to see if you pass the final project. There are still ungraded projects from 2020
