Six Sigma Yellow Belt specialization is a rare course available in Coursera. The course content and the method of teaching is outstanding. We learnt DMAIC, SIPOC and other important tools for improvement of process and quality of product making less defect. I hope with this skill anybody may apply the theory in any enterprise and even house enterprise to reduce defects and costs.

Although the course is outstanding the verbatim of the certificate is unlike other coursera certificate. I feel the wording may be improved e,g the certificate offered by the University of Minnesota is given below:

In this Specialization, learners developed essential human resources skills to become more effective people managers,including elements of recruiting and hiring employees, motivating and retaining employees, managing employee performance, and compensating and rewarding employees. The specialization presents applied knowledge that is grounded in academic research, which is especially valuable because managing people involves complex responsibilities. Learners completed a Capstone Project at the end of the Specialization to apply their new knowledge and skills

....but here it looks like marketing and advertising of the course:

This specialization is for you if you are looking to learn more about Six Sigma or refresh your knowledge of the basic components 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, performance, and quality assurance. In this specialization, you will learn proven principles and tools specific to six sigma and lean.

Moreover, the Logo of Kennessaw State University is to be given for value addition of the certificate as the instructors belong to the Kennesaw State University.

It was great experience learning with professionals and professors from universities. The course is nicely design to give brief information about the tree of Six Sigma. Every module in every course was informative with the appropriate guidance a person can get his/her specialization and this is what one can receive here. Thank you for such a informative course. Lessons learned from this specialization are numerous including brainstorming, tools in Six Sigma and lean, things to keep in mind as a six sigma personal, management skills, and many more. The capstone at the end summarizes all the four courses and allows it to explore through it.

As at all courses from LSS specialisation -- most of the video just reading the text from the book. There are no examples of application the knowledge, so the course create a huge difference between theory and practical application. I've made my project based on a past experience, rather then the course. There are some good videos. Actuall, this is very interesting: all yellow video -- just reading the book, no use at all, all blue video -- quite good. Why is it?

Gain new knowledge about industrial processes at the supervisory level to maintain the process and achieve good accuracy, low-cost production, improve the process documentation and record-keeping.

Good Theory, good explanation. Would have been useful to add more exercises in order to better understand all the Key concepts rather than only final test.

Final test is on a free topic with not so many key concepts to implement, more related to project management rather than Six Sigma QA. I would have used a defined topic exercise with more quality analysis to implement such as SPC, Control charts,...

Rating: 5 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I recently completed the "Six Sigma Tools for Improve and Control" course on Coursera and I must say, it has been an exceptionally rewarding experience. The course is expertly designed, providing a comprehensive overview of Six Sigma principles and their practical applications. As someone interested in regulatory compliance and project management, I found the modules to be highly relevant and directly applicable to my work.

The instructors did an excellent job of breaking down complex topics into easily digestible chunks. The real-world examples and case studies used throughout the course provided a practical context that helped in understanding the abstract concepts. The quizzes and assignments were thought-provoking and aligned well with the course objectives, serving as excellent tools for self-assessment.

The course also offers valuable resources for further reading, which I appreciate as it allows for deeper exploration into specific topics of interest. The forum discussions were enlightening, and the peer interaction added an extra layer of depth to my understanding of Six Sigma methodologies.

Overall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to gain a solid foundation in Six Sigma, whether you're a beginner or have some prior experience. This course does a fantastic job of equipping you with the tools you need for process improvement and operational excellence.

A five-star experience all around!
