Improve Your Bottom
Line — Both Personally and Professionally with a Six Sigma

Lean Six (6) Sigma is
a disciplined enterprise improvement methodology that utilizes data
and other statistical analyses to monitor, control, and improve
a company's operational performance by identifying and preventing
"defects" in manufacturing and service-related processes.
Invented in 1986, Six Sigma is a registered trademark of Motorola.
Overall, the methodology focuses on better and faster production
costs and services than the competition.

In order to achieve Six Sigma, a process must only produce 3.4 defects
in every million opportunities. When used correctly, there will
be an increase in performance and a decrease in process variation
that leads to defect reduction and vast improvement in employee
morale, profits, and quality of product. The program utilizes the
language of Karate and is executed by "Green Belts" and "Master
Black Belts."
Many of today's larger
companies are implementing Six Sigma techniques and claim that the
process has reaped huge financial benefits. For instance, General
Electric estimates that the process has saved the company $10 billion
in its first five years of implementation. Through coursework, managers
and employees discover how 6 Sigma methodologies and tactics fit
into a larger management system and how to apply specific tools
and techniques to solve and prevent critical business process problems.
Training generally will
include a program overview, specific application to business/industry,
how to initiate and apply business and financial benefits, and real-world
examples of successful deployments.
