Six Sigma is a highly disciplined process focused on satisfying customers by delivering nearly perfect products and services. In today's competitive market, consistently maintaining satisfied customers is essential to growth and success. Major corporations such as GE, Motorola, Honeywell and Ford, have demonstrated significant savings and increased profits by implementing Six Sigma processes in their business.

The Six Sigma process gets its name from the way it measures perfection - the absence of defects in the products and services. A defect is failing to deliver what the customer wants. Here is a sample of Six Sigma metrics:

One Sigma: 690,000 defects per million opportunities

Two Sigma: 308,733 defects per million opportunities

Three Sigma: 66,803 defects per million opportunities

3.5 Sigma: Average level of perfection ? around 30,000 defects per million opportunities

Six Sigma: 3.4 defects per million opportunities

Difference between Two & Six Sigma: 25 misspelled words per page in a book vs. 1 misspelled word in all the books of a small library

Six Sigma is not a "get rich quick" methodology. Instead, Six Sigma is a way to get rich by performing properly and consistently. Realistically, a company shouldn't expect more than a breakeven the first year of implementation. The bigger profits follow with consistently following the improved processes. The structured problem-solving methodology follows the DMAIC process that includes these steps:

Define the project goals & customer deliverables
Measure the process to determine current performance
Analyze and determine causes of defects
Improve the process by eliminating causes
Control future process performance

Six Sigma training is ideal for program managers, project managers, operations managers, business unit managers, engineers, customer service, or anyone that wants to improve their business. The training prepares you to

· Work with and understand customer requirements
