The Rise of Six-Sigma Certification

Six Sigma certification is one of the best methods, today to prove your mettle in the competitive job market of today. Here, you will get to know all that is needed to get it for yourself. 

In a world of ever-increasing competition and the rising commitment to job duties, companies are earnestly trying to minimize defects and mitigate losses in the process, to gain the necessary edge over its competitors. Six Sigma is such a weapon in the hands of the companies, in order to reduce the flaws in an employee, something not exclusive to any such company as such, but which has a definite amount of variation with the specified type of activity that is expected out of the employee. This type of activity is variable in the case of each company, and so is the variation.

 Six Sigma was first formulated by Motorola way back in the year 1985. It was afterwards popularized and came into existence as Jack Welch of General Electric made it the focal point of his business strategy in 1995. 

 Six Sigma is in the simplest sense of the term, a set of strategies and methods to increase the efficiency of any and every employee and to reduce that employee’s inclination towards committing mistakes. The process helps to decrease defects and flaws by analyzing the causes of the defect, and minimizing the singular element of variability between the same activities carried out twice by the employee. In this way, Six Sigma provides an employee the ability to commit 99.99966% of correct activities. It is equivalent to 3.4 mistakes in over one million times of the carrying out of the activity. 

What is the utility of Six Sigma?

Take the example of a high school 10+2 certificate. That certificate is an asset for a lifetime, for no matter what the age, it will act as a definite proof of your ability to procure whatever grades you did. A Six Sigma certification is the same idea, just a different application. 

 A Six Sigma certification will always provide you a valid and tangible proof that you have the needed qualifications of operating in any corporate atmosphere up until a certain degree of strain. It is just as a license, a proof of your capability and it is transferable to other companies, just as a license is in other states, with a few exceptions due to the afore mentioned variations in the courses. 

 Types of Six Sigma Certification

There are variations in the type of Six Sigma certifications provided, depending on the capability and the qualities of every individual. An employee who qualifies through the course with excellence usually gets the rank of a Champion. Other sub-categories of qualification are the Green Belt, Black Belt and the Orange Belt.

The company selects certified individuals as no extra time, energy and resources are required to train employees, he is already prepared.
