Many organizations utilize Six Sigma project management techniques to reduce cost in their operations.Engineering managers are expected to know how to manage this specialized project management force including black belt, green belt, and yellow belt project engineers in order to deliver the expected savings and efficiencies that have been produced by other Six Sigma organizations.In order to educate future engineering managers it is important to provide an environment that facilitates learning of how to manage Six Sigma initiatives.This transcript describes the testing and evaluation of the impact a project database had on teaching Total Quality Management using Six Sigma techniques.The results provide evaluation from engineering managers from industry, students in the course, and the Certified Six Sigma Black Belt committee members at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.Results indicate that using the database provided insights on how an engineering manager would manage these specialists in this environment.
