Principles Of Six Sigma

Six Sigma Training has grown in popularity over the recent years due to the amount of employers who desire the Six Sigma methodology to be used within their organisation. Six Sigma has different meanings and functions to different organisations and different individuals, depending on their job role within the organisation. The different levels of Six Sigma include;

The Operations Level – where the tactical nature of Six Sigma comes alive and is directed towards delivery time and cost of poor quality.
The Process Level – where Six Sigma is used to reduce the process variability and minimise the number of defects and decreases direct costs.

Six Sigma is a tactical and strategic system which works to manage a complete business enterprise. It has the capacity to deliver customer satisfaction which is key to any business success.

Six Sigma works to move the business and the employees to direct their goals in the same direction. This in turn needs leaders to direct this and energise the complete idea of Six Sigma. Over the years Six Sigma has produced great economic benefits to its organisations and has done this consistently year after year. Six Sigma itself is based upon measurement. Everything is measured and quantified and therefore Six Sigma is a repeatable process based on this idea. Moreover it is also a goal driven and result orientated method which is surrounded by scientific principles.

Determinism fits snugly with Six Sigma and without this Six Sigma would not exist; this is the belief which Six Sigma is built on.

Quality and Six Sigma is thought to be closely connected. For Six Sigma, quality is a state in which value entitlement is recognised by the customer. It is a methodology which works as a business improvement which searches for defects and imperfections in the processes of the organisation and fixes them.

Overall Six Sigma epitomizes the ideals of business success and the control function of the enterprise. However, it is not just a typical quality programme. Whilst it is aligned with risk assessment it also looks closely at the extent of risks and the processes involved. By doing this Six Sigma has the ability to meet customer and stake holder requirements and in turn create a large amount of profit and economic success for the organisation in question.
