As Ive said before my current job is really dragging me down and Im eager to make a change. I would love to get into a plant/manufacturing environment and have started to canvas the city for openings. Ive found several which are pretty promising. One thing which jumps out at me with most of the positions Im interested in is that they want Six Sigma and/or Lean Manufacturing experience (or at least familiarity with them).
Im familiar with both but have never had formal training in them. UofL offers a Six Sigma class which does not get you a green belt certification but has you go through the quality control process. I worked with a guy at the state who took the class and it sounded cool. More then anything I want to be able to put on my resume to these companies "Yes Ive had experience with Six Sigma". The same goes for Lean Manufacturing. A friend of mine cooped at GE and they implimented Lean at her plant. She hated it but she told me it helped her get a bigger and better job having been exposed to it.
So does anyone have any exposure to Six Sigma or other quality control programs? What about Lean? Any tips on how I could get some experience (eg take a class)? I dont want to go dropping a bunch of money on a Six Sigma class and then not land a job.
