Lean Six Sigma White Belt Certification
Lean Six Sigma White Belt Certification
Join MassMEP for Lean Six Sigma White Belt Certification an overview of the DMAIC process. Become familiar with the methodology and basic tools of process improvement.
When a process is operating at a six sigma level, it means that the process must not produce more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. To achieve this level of operational excellence requires organizations to adhere to strict process controls. A Six Sigma project uses a 5-step process called the DMAIC method to evaluate and improve processes.
This is an eight (8) hour virtual training over a two-day period, (August 24 & 26, 2021). Registration is required for both sessions, with a fee of $99 for the Lean Six Sigma White Belt Certification training.
NERDIC Industry 4.0 Readiness Ecosystem: Technology Demonstration on Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) and Bound Metal Deposition (BMD) Additive Manufacturing Processes
Zoom
Join us for a virtual presentation on the use and results of generative design and resulting demonstration parts printed by the University of Maine Advanced Manufacturing Center/Center for Additive Manufacturing of Metals.
Valued at a $7.3-billion worldwide market value in 2017, additive manufacturing (AM) is disrupting multiple markets by enabling engineers to rapidly manufacture parts having substantial geometric freedom. Unfortunately, this geometric freedom is often realized with materials having insufficient properties (e.g., stiffness, strength, melting temperature) for production requirements. Addressing this problem, the rapidly-growing additive manufacturing of metals (AMM) sector now includes multiple processes, including Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) and Bound Metal Deposition (BMD).
This session will be recorded and made available on-demand.
Learning Objectives
By the conclusion of the presentation, attendees will:
¥ Understand the advantages and disadvantages of PBF and BMD AMM processes
¥ Recognize how AMM process and design advantages can add value within supply chains while increasing part functionality
¥ Reflect upon their current portfolios to determine candidate AMM applications
Presenters
Dr. Brett Ellis, Associate Professor, Co-Director- Center for Additive Manufacturing of Metals, University of Maine
John Belding PE, Director- Advanced Manufacturing Center, Co-Director- Center for Additive Manufacturing of Metals, University of Maine

Polar Park 100 Madison Street, Worcester, United StatesThe Center for Advanced Manufacturing at MassTech (CAM), along with MassMEP, MassRobotics, FORGE, WPI, and MassHire, will host an exciting new conference - the "Massachusetts Manufacturing Mash-Up” - to kick-off manufacturing month in 2021.
The Mash-Up name inspires something innovative and unique. The place to see the "new face of manufacturing” in Massachusetts. The event will feature a mix of indoor and outdoor space, setting a new 'vibe' for manufacturing.
Join us on September 28, 2021, for a full day to:
-Meet with new business opportunities or partners;
-Find the resources to help manufacturers succeed;
-Gain the knowledge to join the advanced manufacturing world in which we now operate;
-Engage with state and local leaders interested in manufacturing, and
-Network in a unique environment intended to inspire new connections and businesses!
This Mash-Up will be a platform for partners and industry to come together to help put the "advanced” in advanced manufacturing!
