Six Sigma Green Belt Training and Black Belt Training will make the difference between survival and demise for your company.

Below is a brief description of Six Sigma and its origins:

Six Sigma

Sigma is a unit of statistical measurement, which in this context is used to illustrate the quality of a process. The sigma measurement scale (spreads from two to six) describes the probability of defects in parts per million. To simplify the concept, consider applying six sigma to written text. If defects were measured in misspellings, four sigma would be equivalent to one misspelling per 30 pages of text; five sigma, one misspelling in a set of encyclopaedias; while six sigma would find only one misspelling within an entire library (small sized, of course).

Most companies produce products that "weigh in" at four sigma. This standard of quality is considered average and acceptable among consumers. However, many companies are looking to change standards because reduced defects will result in reduced costs. Six sigma green belt training will mean that your company generates and substantially saves money by functioning on the highest level of efficiency. Furthermore, the company makes more efficient use of all resources and production line waste drops off.

Six Sigma was first conceptualised as a quality goal in the 1980's by Dr. Mikel Harry and others at Motorola. In 1985, Dr. Harry presented a paper describing the relationship of a product's early-life field reliability to the frequency of repair during the manufacturing process. Originally, the objective behind six sigma training was to eliminate the cause of a problem before it became necessary to identify and repair defects. However, soon after it was implemented, six sigma was also found to reduce defects in non-manufacturing operations such as order entry and other kinds of cost saving. The traditional way of thinking is that improving quality costs money. In the past, it was prudent to ship some defects because it saved money. Now that is definitely not true. Improving sigma capability in both product and process, results in a product which is virtually latent defect-free, and also results in the lowest manufacturing costs. The warranty costs will be reduced as well, thus achieving higher levels of customer satisfaction with actually less cost.
