Is this PMP preparation?

No. It covers the practical foundations engineers use on projects; PMI's certifications have their own requirements and exams.

Engineers and technical leads who run, or are about to run, projects.

Why are Six Sigma and Lean here?

Both are structured methods for running improvement projects, and engineers are often asked to lead one.

Is it free, and is there a certificate?

Every lesson, note and assessment is free. The EDWartens certificate is optional and paid, and you can finish without it.

Six Sigma Green Belt Training for Manufacturing

Free Six Sigma Green Belt course for production and quality staff: run DMAIC with Gage R&R, Cpk, tests and control charts. The certificate is optional and paid.

Turn a month of reject data into DPU, DPMO and a sigma level, and cost the problem
Fix a project with a one-page charter and a SIPOC, and write CTQs that carry a unit, a target and limits
Run a crossed Gage R&R and judge the gauge by percent study variation and number of distinct categories

Lean Six Sigma Black Belt

The step after Green Belt: how a Black Belt chooses and charters projects tied to business goals, plans data collection and handles non-normal data, tests hypotheses in depth with power and sample size, runs one-way and two-way ANOVA, fits multiple and logistic regression, designs full and fractional factorial experiments, applies Lean flow and pull, hands over with a control plan, leads change and coaches Green Belts, and finishes with a full DMAIC case.

Rank and charter projects against business goals with the benefit stated in cost units
Plan data collection, size samples and handle non-normal data with transforms or rank-based tests
Run t-tests, paired tests, proportion, chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests with power and sample size

FreeManufacturing excellenceBeginner

Lean Manufacturing, OEE and TPM

The shop-floor half of manufacturing excellence, built in the order a line is actually improved: value and the eight wastes, gemba walks and bottlenecks, lead time and takt time, value stream mapping, flow and cells, pull and kanban sizing, standard work and 5S. Then the two numbers a plant manager is judged on. OEE calculated from a real shift, the six big losses behind it, quick changeover, and total productive maintenance through its eight pillars and twelve implementation steps.

Calculate availability, performance, quality and OEE from one shift of real line data
Split a shift of downtime across the six big losses and name the one costing most
Draw a current-state value stream map with observed data boxes, then a future state you can reach

Why learn Project management in India

Engineers are often promoted into running projects without formal training. Delivering to scope, time and budget, and running data-driven improvement projects, are skills employers look for in every engineering discipline.

How to choose

Project Management for Engineers covers the whole life of a technical project, from charter and WBS to earned value, FIDIC claims and closing. Six Sigma and Lean are here because both are structured ways of running an improvement project.

Planning engineers schedule in Microsoft Project or Primavera P6, and job adverts usually ask for one of the two. Microsoft Project for Planning Engineers and Primavera P6 Planning and Scheduling each follow one project from the first task to progress reports.
