Created first by Motorola in the 1980’s to improve the capability of its manufacturing processes to meet the ever increasing customer requirements and expectations, Six Sigma was then later popularized by Allied Signal and General Electric (GE). These two companies have successfully implemented six sigma and demonstrated that six sigma not only improves the quality of their products and services, but totally transformed the organization culture in their effort for greater customer satisfaction, profitability and competitiveness. Six Sigma has evolved from merely an index to measure the amount of variation from desired target to become a comprehensive and flexible system for planning, achieving, sustaining and maximizing organizations’ business success. It is uniquely driven by close understanding of facts, data and statistical analysis and diligent attention to management, improving and reinventing business processes in a continuous quest to achieve people and process excellence in the organization. It is a business system for improved business leadership and performance. It is a “system” that has shown successes in diverse and growing types of industries, and in a broad array of business processes and challenges within the organization, starting from strategic planning, supply chain, to operations and customer service, and at every step helps to maximize the impact of the efforts. The benefits of six sigma will be accessible whether it involves the entire organization, department or just tackling specific problems. There has been much discussion in many organizations about Six Sigma, the concepts, the goals and targets, but the misconceptions and misunderstanding about the subject is still prevalent. This one day awareness training is intended to provide an overview of the concepts of Six Sigma; where, how and why it originated, the meaning, it’s relationship with the processes, the hurdles, pitfalls, the world class leaders, the losers, the success stories, lessons learned, and the necessary steps and roles of each individual employee to achieve this excellence Target Audience All Employees and potential SixSigma project team members All Management Team members QM / ISO Coordinators / Champions Process Owners All Technical Staff CEO & Presidents
