What is Six Sigma?                                                                                                                           

    Six Sigma is a rigorous and disciplined methodology that uses data and statistical analysis to measure and improve a company's operational performance by identifying and eliminating "defects" in manufacturing and service-related processes. Commonly defined as 3.4 defects per million opportunities. Six Sigma can be defined and understood at three distinct levels: metric, methodology and philosophy.

   Six Sigma is a customer focused, data driven methodology for achieving real break through success in business. Six Sigma is a comprehensive and flexible system and can be applied to reduce defects, improve designs and process efficiencies.

Why 3Sigma Performance Level (99.73%) is not enough?

    A three Sigma level company is not good enough, because a 3Sigma level performance means,

    * 200,00 lost articles of mail per hour.
    * No electricity for almost 7 hours, each month.
    * 2 short or long landings at major airports, each day.
    * 200,000 wrong drug prescriptions each year.
    * Unsafe drinking water almost 15 minutes each day.
    * 5000 wrong surgical operations per week.

    (The above information is based on a survey conducted in US.)

     Now, can anyone afford to stop at 3Sigma level performance? If a company performs even at 3Sigma level, (that is 99.73% result fall with in the control limits) the above defects are possible. Because of the above cited huge loses, generally many companies go for Six Sigma Implementation Programs/Certification.

 Why you need to do Six Sigma?

     Six Sigma can cut waste and save money. Consider how much money could be saved by eliminating potential defects and the resulting scrap and warranty returns. Time and money may be wasted in corrective actions and delays. Also consider the image those results from product failures for the customer. In order to determine the waste, you need to understand what adds value to your product and what does not.

    One way to know how good you are doing is to compare your operation to similar ones elsewhere, as a benchmark. If there are similar operations in your organization, then bench marking will be easier.

Six Sigma Costs and Savings:

    One cannot expect to significantly reduce costs and increase sales using Six Sigma without investing in training, organizational infrastructure and culture evolution. It is sure you can reduce costs and increase sales in a localized area of a business using the Six Sigma quality methodology. For Example,

    "Motorola adopted Six Sigma in1987. In 1988, Motorola won its first Baldridge Award."

    "Companies of all types and sizes are in the midst of a quality revolution. GE saved $12 billion over five
     years and added $1 to its earnings per share. Honeywell (AlliedSignal) recorded more than $800 million in
     savigs."

    "GE produces annual benefits of over $2.5 billion across the organization from Six Sigma."

    "Motorola reduced manufacturing costs by $1.4 billion from 1987-1994."

    "Six Sigma reportedly saved Motorola $15 billion over the last 11 years."

Who should attend?

    CEOs, Presidents, Project Managers, Team leaders/Members, Field Staff Members, Project Engineers, Design Engineers, Project Leaders and Administrators, Industrial Engineers, Program Managers, Manufacturing Engineers, Project Coordinators, Operating Managers, Functional Managers, Information Technology Professionals, Software Developers, Quality & Testing Engineers, Sales & Marketing professionals, Civil/Mechanical/Electrical engineers, Procurement specialists, Event mangers, R&D Managers, others involved directly or indirectly with Project Management, Quality assurance managers, BPO team leaders, and Executive leadership from Finance, Training, Communications, Human Resources and Quality who are interested in gaining a better understanding of manufacturing processes and reducing process variability in order to improve business success.

This includes:

    * Individuals who desire to enhance their professional development with the skills necessary to support Six
       Sigma projects.

    * Employees of companies that have deployed Six Sigma, who work with Black Belts, or who lead their own
       improvement projects. Companies that want to expand training across a wide range of employees to
       reduce costs and improve performance
