Course Overview
The last couple of decades small, mid-sized and Fortune 500 companies have embraced Six Sigma to generate more profit and greater savings. So what is Six Sigma?
Six Sigma is a data-driven approach for eliminating defects and waste in any business process. You can compare Six Sigma with turning on your water faucet and experiencing the flow of clean, clear water. Reliable systems are in place to purify, treat and pressure the water through the faucet. That is what Six Sigma does to business: treats the processes in business so that they deliver their intended result.
