Six Sigma is a methodology for achieving process improvement and quality control in manufacturing and service industries. It was developed in the 1980s by Motorola and has since been adopted by companies across various industries. Six Sigma certification is a professional credential that demonstrates an individual's proficiency in Six Sigma principles and techniques.
Six Sigma is based on the idea that quality is achieved by reducing defects in a process. A defect is defined as any deviation from the customer's requirements or expectations. Six Sigma uses tools and techniques to identify and eliminate defects in a process, ultimately improving the quality of the product or service.
Accredited Six Sigma Certification
Individuals must first complete a Six Sigma training program to achieve Six Sigma certification. These programs are typically offered by Six Sigma consulting firms or professional organizations. The training program will cover the principles and techniques of Six Sigma, including process mapping, data collection and analysis, and statistical tools to identify and eliminate defects.
There are several different levels of Six Sigma certification. The most common belt levels are the Six Sigma White Belt, Six Sigma Yellow Belt, Six Sigma Green Belt, Six Sigma Black Belt, and Six Sigma Master Black Belt. Each level represents a different level of proficiency and expertise in Six Sigma principles and techniques.
