the students are required to implement DMAIC / Six Sigm DMAIC / Six-Sigma ProjectIn this assessment the students are required to implement DMAIC / Six Sigma projects. Upon the completion of the projects instructors should be able to test the students` understanding of major part of the course materials. Learning Outcome: Develop an appreciation of quality management theory principles and practices. (LO: 1.1 & 1.2)Use quality improvement tools and practices for continuous improvement. (LO: 3.5 & 3.8).Develop strategies for organizational change and transformation. (LO: 4.5 & 4.6)Project Structure: A.No Marks Project Report 10 DMAIC / Six-Sigma ProjectDuring the process of projects implementation hypothetically for the assessment`s purposes the picture your instructor as a chief executive officer of a company at any industry of your choice. In order to gain the CEO` approval for quality improvement project (Six Sigma) and compete for full project`s sponsorship student is required to provide a detailed project information to convince the instructor supposedly the (CEO) to choose and support your project.
