Six Sigma Online is your source for The ROI Alliance’s Six Sigma Black Belt training. We currently offer Six Sigma Black Belt training, and plan to offer Design for Six Sigma Black Belt, Champion and Green Belt training online and on-disc.
Our course is the finest combination of skills you will need to run a team effectively from problem definition to successful completion.

Dr. Jeffrey Luftig


These materials are derived from materials created by Dr. Jeffrey Luftig, one of the first people Dr. W. Edwards Deming hired to begin the American quality revolution at Ford Motor Company in the early 80's. Dr. Luftig started his own consulting firm in 1985 and consulted at numerous companies including Ford, ALCOA, Anheuser-Busch, Earthgrains, Molex, Inland Steel, and many others. During this time, Dr. Luftig and his consultants honed the materials to provide their clients training that had real-life applications with a strong technical base. He now holds the W. Edwards Deming Professor of Management endowed chair at the Engineering Management Program at the University of Colorado.

Random Testimonial

I found the Six Sigma course extremely interesting and appropriate for our times, as US companies in many industries strive to regain a competitive edge in the global economy of this century. The format and the general layout of the topics was very well designed and easy to follow. The tools introduced in this course were extremely powerful and the know-how about how to identify, assess and manage opportunities for improvement was invaluable.

The convenience of being able to view the sessions on-line, along with the availability of the instructor to answer any questions, made the entire learning experience more effective for someone like myself with a tight schedule in today's fast paced world. I would recommend this course to anyone involved in management, decision making and problem solving who wants to take their company to the next level by implementing an ongoing business performance improvement strategy throughout their organization.

Random Heresy

Have you ever met people who “do” statistical process control (SPC) only to get some screwy-looking control chart, and then text: OMG I H8 SPC! (If you don’t understand that, ask your nine-year-old child or grandchild.)

Last month we saw how it is not a failure of SPC, but rather an EBKAC (error between keyboard and chair). As I wrote in my last article, “Why Doesn't SPC Work?” perhaps they are not doing the measurement system analysis first, or perhaps autocorrelation in a continuous process. But you batch process folks are not off the hook, which is what this month’s article is about.
