Six Sigma® Training
Six Sigma is a business improvement methodology based upon analytical rigor and measureable characteristics. Manufacturing and business processes have characteristics that can be measured, analyzed, improved and controlled. The Six Sigma model for process improvement is based upon the structured methodology of Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control (DMAIC).
| Define | Determine project goals and current process |
| Measure | Determine current performance levels and collect relevant data |
| Analyze | Identify true root cause and verify cause and effect relationship |
| Improve | Determine possible solution, “should be” process condition and implement solution |
| Control | Maintain the gains achieved and monitor the process |
Six Sigma seeks to improve the quality of process outputs by identifying and removing process variation. Continuous efforts to achieve stable and predictable process results are of critical importance to improved business success.
