BUAD 5911 - MGJW Core Capstone

(4.5) Staff

The MGJW Core Capstone course is a project based course where small teams of officers work on a real-world Lean-Six Sigma project for the U.S. Army. Students work full-time on the projects over an approximately 6 week period. The course involves research, in-depth analysis using both Lean and Six Sigma tools, development of a proposed solution to the problem as well as multiple presentations to different audiences including members of the Senior Executive Service and General Officers. Students are expected to coordinate, and successfully work with, numerous parties including staff at government agencies, contractors and vendors. Students also write a major technical report on the project. Students who successfully complete the course requirements receive their Lean Six Sigma Green Belt from the Mason School of Business.
