What is Six Sigma?
Six Sigma is the original process improvement methodology. It was first used by Motorola in manufacturing. Since then, it’s use has spread to almost every industry. Continuous process improvement is a universal need.
Six Sigma focuses on reducing variance and errors in a process. That’s because processes
without consistent dependability eventually lead to errors and defective products. Reducing variance leads to higher quality products and services.
The goal is to reduce the defects to 3.4 per one million opportunities. That is the Six Sigma
standard.
There are two primary methods in Six Sigma. Both use data-driven, fact-based approaches
to identifying and eliminating defects in a process.
The first is DMAIC (Define, Measure, Analyse, Improve, and Control), which is used to
correct issues in existing processes. The second is DMADV (Define, Measure, Analyse,
Design, Verify), which is used to create new processes.
Our Six Sigma courses are offered in different belt classifications according to depth of knowledge. They are: Yellow Belt, Green Belt, Black Belt Upgrade, Black Belt and Master Black Belt.
