Six Sigma is a data-driven process re-engineering methodology resulting in paradigm shifts in the way a company behaves, treats its customers, and produces its products. It has been used for over 15 years in a number of companies including General Electric, Allied Signal and Texas Instruments. Why has six sigma been so effective?

Brand Yoga Can Save Your Business

A Company's brand is one of its largest, most important assets, one that takes years to develop, one that must be nurtured, massaged, cultured and maintained.

For broad-based product and service companies, sometimes putting your brand through some yoga-like exercises can lead to tighter targeting, enhanced revenue and improved profitability.

Focusing on the customer is essential to the success of any business. We all recognize this idea. But do we really internalize this idea? Do we really believe that such a focus has the potential to drive business growth and improve the quality of our day-to-day work as well as improve the chance that our business, and hence our jobs, will flourish?

Business growth depends on how well we meet customer expectations in terms of quality, price, and delivery.

Unless we can measure something, we cannot improve our performance. Sigma is a unit of measure that gives us a way of measuring variation and the capability of our processes to meet customer expectations consistently. We will discuss Sigma in more detail as the course progresses.What is a Sigma? It is a Greek letter that represents a measure of variation.

Probably the biggest single difference between a true Six Sigma company and those companies that are stuck permanently at Four Sigma, is the mindset. The under-achieving companies are complacent, unaware and unable to accept the idea that they must make quantum leaps in process quality if they are to gain, and keep, their competitive advantage. The benefits of achieving Six Sigma are clear and obvious, both from the company's standpoint, and more importantly, from their customer's standpoint.

One of the most important tools for achieving Six Sigma process capability is Process Benchmarking. This powerful tool is used to compare processes or products within the industry, between industries, or even between geographical areas or countries. A tool called Benchmarking Chart is a powerful way to "baseline" various processes or products so they may be meaningfully compared.

One of the more confusing aspects of learning Six Sigma, is the relationship between process Standard Deviation, which is denoted by the Greek letter sigma and the process Sigma value, known as Z.

When output data of a process is collected and analyzed, two of the first statistics to be calculated are the Mean and the Standard Deviation. The Mean, or average value, is compared to the process target, to see how accurately the process is actually performing.
