Six Sigma: Improving Your Business and the Bottom Line
Six Sigma Company Training: Six Sigma training gives you the tools to improve business processes which can increase corporate profitability and business growth as well as company performance, quality, and customer satisfaction. Learn more about how companies using Six Sigma are getting ahead.

Six Sigma is a systematic, rigorous and proven methodology focused on improving the quality of processes within an organization, and eliminating process defects. A successful implementation of these business improvement principles aligns all of a company’s people, processes and energy around a common strategy and culture.

Six Sigma methodologies are applicable to organizations across the full spectrum of industries, from manufacturing to service to healthcare.

Why is there a growing interest in Six Sigma?

Organizations like GE, Toyota, Hewlett Packard, FedEx, Motorola and American Express are just a few of the world’s leading companies that in recent years have shared incredible improvements in increased earnings, reduced waste, improved leadership and more, as a result of Six Sigma implementations.

Because Six Sigma principles focus on business and process improvement, their successful implementation leads to a significant savings in corporate resources, which can translate directly and rapidly into an increase in corporate profitability and business growth. Additionally, these process improvements result in increased company performance, quality, and customer satisfaction

Elements of a Successful Six Sigma Implementation:

  • Six Sigma Awareness - Successful Six Sigma implementations require a company-wide Six Sigma culture with awareness and buy-in from all employees in an organization.
  • Six Sigma Green Belts – Green Belts play a vital role in a Six Sigma implementation, by leading and executing the projects that improve processes, and supporting the Six Sigma culture throughout an organization.
  • Six Sigma Black Belts – Six Sigma Black Belts have a thorough understanding of all Six Sigma principles, can explain its philosophies, and are the leaders of change within an organization. The American Society for Quality (ASQ) is generally regarded as the world’s leading authority on quality related issues, and has developed a comprehensive Six Sigma Black Belt Body of Knowledge and corresponding certification exam.
  • Six Sigma Champions – Six Sigma implementations require strong executive and management support. Champions are upper level managers who ensure the success of a Six Sigma strategy by supporting its implementation at all levels of an organization.
