Six Sigma encompasses a quality philosophy, a process for improvement, and a metric for measuring quality. It can be utilized to establish and achieve ambitious goals that align with an organization's business and operational culture. Implementing Six Sigma principles to attain high levels of process and product quality will not only meet but also exceed customer expectations. Variations are present in every aspect of operations! Understanding and reducing variations in service, manufacturing, and sales/marketing processes are critical for achieving Six Sigma performance. Measurement and statistical analysis play crucial roles in the successful implementation of the program. The course also explores the connection between the Six Sigma process and the Lean Production System. To enhance learning, the course offers a highly interactive experience where participants engage in a business simulation exercise, applying their newfound knowledge to approach Six Sigma performance.
