Description
This unit describes the skills and knowledge required to use Six Sigma or Three Sigma to improve process capability.This unit applies to production managers, plant/process engineers, technical specialists or similar roles with responsibility to determine the actual (as distinct from design) capability of a process, identify assignable causes and to develop and implement plans to stabilise then improve process capability.This unit applies to any process or organisation. No licensing or certification requirements exist at the time of publication. Relevant legislation, industry standards and codes of practice within Australia must be applied.
