Other topics in the standard, such as ‘Piloting your solution’, are more suited to experiential activities in laboratories and projects. The outcome of the paper is an indication of how the standard manufacturing curriculum supports the Six Sigma standard. In addition, the paper will highlight aspects of the standard that do not require the addition of new courses but can enhance traditional topic coverage. 2.
