What is Six Sigma?


Sigma represents a unit of measurement that designates the distribution or spread about the average of a process to represent how well a process is performing. The higher the sigma value, the less variation and fewer defects will reach the customer When a company has achieved a six sigma rate of improvement, it has limited defects to 3.4 per million opportunities virtual defect-free performance. The DMAIC Six Sigma Process of Problem Solution is a natural fit for Statgraphics Centurion

A new Approach to Six Sigma Implementation


Six Sigma Accelerated plus Statgraphics Centurion and You

Six Sigma Accelerated

If youre a company that wants to either improve its quality levels or develop its employees, then Six Sigma Accelerated is for you. Featuring Statgraphics Centurion, Six Sigma Accelerated places the emphasis on problem-solving strategy while providing statistical software and support in the background. As a result, Six Sigma Accelerated training gives you the real-world tools and techniques you need to implement improvement strategies. These improvement strategies allow you to increase performance and decrease process variation, resulting in defect reduction while improving product quality, your net income and employee morale. Simply put, Six Sigma Accelerated provides you with a hands-on formula for business improvement.
Six Sigma Accelerated training follows the traditional Six Sigma Model: Define Measure Analyze Improve Control (DMAIC). While doing so, Statgraphics Centurion provides the synergy of the statistical methods with the DMAIC model.

This, in turn, allows you to address your most difficult problems (those requiring a data driven approach and the use of statistical tools and techniques). Furthermore, Six Sigma Accelerated gives you the ability to analyze your companys weakness orientation while offering you additional tools for business improvement. Since most users may not be trained statisticians, the StatAdvisor tool adds a short narrative paragraph to all tabular and graphical output explaining in user-friendly language the significance of the results. The explanation is context sensitive, picking up the actual numerical results and integrating them into the explanation. To further simplify the teams Project Presentation, StatAdvisor output can be plugged into the STATGRAPHICS StatReporter tool, which will generate a report of the data analysis for Team Project Reporting and Presentation.
How long is Accelerated Six Sigma training?

Applied Business Improvement (ABI) and Statgraphics offer the Six Sigma Accelerated course in a six-day format. Individuals who complete Six Sigma Accelerated course will be familiar with the Green Belt Six Sigma basic skills and core statistics tools. Upon completion of this course, ABI offers an additional five-day Six Sigma course for those subsequently seeking to upgrade to Six Sigma Black Belt status.
Who should attend? Class requirements.

This course is designed for those seeking Six Sigma Green Belt level. A basic knowledge of Statistics is helpful but not critical. Completion of a Six Sigma project and class access to a laptop computer are required.
