Certification ceremony shows positives of Six Sigma training

Six Sigma is a strategic part of many large companies to save costs and reduce defects in the processing process. The last three decades or so have seen many companies adopt the methodology to improve quality and cut costs. However, the practical benefits of Six Sigma have also been doubted in some quarters. In an effort to remove such doubts, Northwest Arkansas Community College held a certification ceremony involving Six Sigma experts.

Sixteen employees of four companies gained first-hand experience of Six Sigma at work, and came out of the ceremony with green belt certification. The participants in the ceremony "experienced" the case studies of several companies that have used Six Sigma to effectively cut costs and improve business processes, including Franklin Electric, Superior Industries, and Clarke and Rockline Industries. As Chad Smith of Black & Decker explained:

The approach is used to eliminate errors, improve the economics of business process, and transform an organization’s culture to a data-driven, customer-driven, cost-reduction-driven culture.

NWA News reports that NWACC’s next course will begin July 31 and run through Dec. 18.
