Six Sigma - Career Opportunities

If you work in project management for a business, you know continuous improvement of processes and reducing business waste is important.

Whether you’re entering the world of six sigma for the first time or you’re an industry professional seeking to expand your skill set, there are courses to suit everyone.

What is six sigma?

Lean six sigma is a data-driven methodology and set of tools that businesses utilise to help project management and process improvement. This is done through discovering and eliminating any defects after finding their root cause, with the goal of having as little variance as possible in the results of business processes. Six sigma is designed specifically for assisting large companies in continuous improvement and maintaining quality management.

There are two major methodologies in lean six sigma practice: DMAIC and DMADV.

DMAIC:

  • Defining the problem, customer requirements, needs and wants, as well as project goals.
  • Measuring performance of the company’s current processes.
  • Analysing current processes for any defects.
  • Improving errors and defects in the process by removing the cause of the defect.
  • Control the new processes and initiatives to ensure they are maintained.

DMADV:

  • Define the company’s or customer’s goals.
  • Measure the customer’s critical to quality (CTQ) needs, potential risks, and create them into project goals.
  • Analyse all of the potential options for the customer from your measurements.
  • Design the process based on your analysis.
  • Verify the design and ensure customer satisfaction and approval before giving the process to them.

Are there any prerequisites to study six sigma?

There are no prerequisites required to study six sigma! This six sigma course is perfect for both beginners and for industry professionals seeking to expand their skills and knowledge.

In lean six sigma training, there are different levels: yellow belt, green belt, black belt and master black belt. When studying six sigma, it is required you start at the bottom and make your way through the levels. Each belt brings new and more advanced knowledge. For example, yellow belts have basic knowledge of lean six sigma and may help finish project tasks, whereas a black belt certification will carry out the six sigma method on specific projects.

What can I achieve with a six sigma certification?

A six sigma certification helps to establish clear roles and responsibilities within a large company, especially regarding leadership. The hierarchy goes:

  • Executive team: declares the vision for six sigma implementation. This team includes the CEO and other executive management members.
  • Champions: ensure all departments are implementing the methodology in their practices. These people are usually found in upper management
  • Master black belts: advise the six sigma practice for programs and manage consistency, along with supervising and guiding black belts and green belts.
  • Green belts: these people are responsible for implementing the six sigma methodology in their regular job responsibilities.
