<strong>Textile</strong>s Extension Education For Economic Development<br />
Six Sigma Training<br />
Six Sigma is a business philosophy focusing on continuous improvement, based on a<br />
statistical measure <strong>of</strong> variability. In a service or manufacturing environment, a Six Sigma<br />
process would be virtually defect free. In a million operations <strong>of</strong> a process, Six Sigma<br />
allows only 3.4 defects. Most companies operate at four sigma which allows 6,000 defects<br />
per million operations <strong>of</strong> a process.<br />
The College <strong>of</strong> <strong>Textile</strong>s <strong>and</strong> the Industrial Extension Service courses provide pr<strong>of</strong>essionals<br />
in a manufacturing or service environment with the tools they need to implement Six<br />
Sigma in their organization. Courses include Green Belt, Black Belt, Champion, <strong>and</strong> Master<br />
Black Belt training. In addition these courses are also <strong>of</strong>fered on site through our In-Plant<br />
Program. Please visit our website for our complete course <strong>of</strong>ferings <strong>and</strong> more information<br />
