Designing a Six Sigma Project for a Renewable Energy Manufacturer
Overview
What this challenge is about.
You are given historical warranty data and production process maps. Your task is to create a comprehensive Six Sigma project charter including a problem statement, goal statement, project scope, team, and timeline.
