Course Overview/Description
Six Sigma is a data-driven approach for eliminating defects and waste in any business process. You can compare Six Sigma with turning your water faucet and experiencing the flow of clean, clear water. Reliable systems are in place to purify, treat, and pressure the water through the faucet. Six Sigma treats business processes so that they deliver their intended result. What is "Sigma?” The word is a statistical term that measures how far a given process deviates from perfection. Sigma is a way to measure quality and performance. The central idea behind Six Sigma is that if you can measure how many "defects" you have in a process, you can systematically figure out how to eliminate them and get as close to "zero defects" as possible. This course will give participants an overview of the Six Sigma methodology and some of the tools required to deploy Six Sigma in their own organizations.
