Six Sigma Training Guide Site Develops Certification Techniques for Project Managers
The blackbelts that produce the Six Sigma Training Guide site have developed certification techniques for experienced project managers seeking to be Six Sigma certified.
- (1888PressRelease) September 03, 2010 - Six Sigma Training Guide (SSTG), the highly referenced site on all matters relating to Six Sigma, has developed a certification approach specifically designed for project and program managers seeking to certify themselves in Six Sigma. Many in the industry have taken on the project management career path, and a handful have even pursued project management certification, particularly that which is offered by the Project Management Institute. Despite that, only a select few have entertained the notion of Six Sigma training and being Six Sigma certified, even as the key success factors of projects demand that leaders have the requisite skill set to manage variability and waste, which of course Six Sigma is designed to do.
Recognizing this gap, SSTG set out not only to provide the foremost in Six Sigma information by way of concise, actionable articles and reference materials, but also to outline a roadmap to Six Sigma certification. SSTG pays particular attention to the benefits both to the practitioner and to their client, of the proper application of Six Sigma practices.
Many liken Six Sigma to some exotic secret methodology, but that observation couldn't be farther from the truth. In reality, Six Sigma is a business management strategy pioneered by Motorola in the United States during the early 1980s. The fact that many are confused about Six Sigma and its origins, perhaps confusing it for Kaizen, means that there is a unfortunate lack of collective knowledge of the practice itself. SSTG is dedicated to bridging this gap.
Six Sigma is applicable to any industry where variability and waste is a concern. In that respect, nearly everything that participates in our economy may benefit from Six Sigma. Take a fast food chain, for example. Customers expect a certain measure of consistency when they visit the fast food chain, irrespective of where in the world they do so. To make the example more concrete, a customer seeking a McDonalds Big Mac hamburger in the United Kingdom expects it to taste pretty much the same as the one he ate in the United States. Of course, there is regional variability, but those are in by design, rather than by exception.
The ability to ensure continued consistency across operations does not happen overnight, but rather as a result of a series of testing, identification, fixing and control. Over a period of time, the variability is squeezed out and what one ends up with is a consistent process that produces expected results. Those in the business of producing things need to ensure consistency lest they risk alienating the client or worst, losing them to a competitor.
Thus, despite the seemingly trivial, small scale nature of the focus of Six Sigma, the fact is that Six Sigma enables businesses to execute on their strategy by ensuring quality goods and services born out of consistent processes. "With Six Sigma, businesses are able to prevent defects or otherwise undesirable characteristics from flowing downstream of the value chain and ultimately ending up at the customer," notes Brock Hamilton of SSTG.
