2 What is Six Sigma? Six Sigma is a set of competencies for achieving continuous improvement. Six Sigma Competencies Methodology: DMAIC and DFSS Tools: Statistical and Soft skills Unlike ISO-9001:2000, TS-16949:2000, COPC, CMMI etc., in Six Sigma field there is no certification for the organization. In Six Sigma Individuals are certified based on their competencies GB, BB and MBB

3 Six Sigma and other Quality Approaches Six Sigma initiative is NOT a substitute to other quality approaches such as ISO-9001:2000, TS :2000, COPC, CMMI, Lean etc. On the other hand Six Sigma initiative perfectly complements other quality efforts of the organization. Combinations such as Lean Six Sigma and Six Sigma + CMMI have become industry benchmark.

13 About IQF Noted author and Six Sigma guru Thomas Pyzdek founded the International Quality Federation (IQF) in January 2000, the first to provide independent thirdparty validation that an individual has mastered the Six Sigma Body of Knowledge (BoK). Mission: The mission of the IQF is to promote quality improvement throughout the world. Purpose: The IQF will pursue its mission by cultivating environments which allow member societies and other organizations to work together to advance knowledge of quality. Principles i Member-based government The IQF will be governed by its member organizations (International Body). No commercial operations The IQF will not produce products or services in competition with commercial firms. The IQF believes that it can best encourage the broadest range of products and services for the quality profession by providing encouragement and assistance to individuals and organizations, rather than by competing with them.

Case study method poses challenge to administer online, as the learner has to give descriptive answers. ISL has developed e-case study tool to administer cases online with semi-automated feedback. Cases with multi media content t can be used. Cases can be customized with background of the learner. Answers of the mentors are displayed immediately after the questions are answered by learner. This is instant feedback. Mentors can review and provide feedback and rate the learners skills.

89 FAQs 1. What is the qualification for doing six sigma? There is no minimum qualification for doing six sigma courses from ISL, as these are professional certifications and not degrees from universities. ASQ prescribes years of experience in quality. ISL-BB can be done by students who have completed ISL-GB. 2. Can I do Black Belt course directly? The Body of Knowledge (BoK) of Black Belt includes complete Green Belt BoK and additional topics. For example 56% of ASQ CSSBB is same as ASQ CSSGB. ISL Six Sigma courses are modular in design and there is no overlap between GB and BB courses. ISL offers Black Belt upgrade course for IQF Certified Green Belts. Direct Black Belts will go through the combined course.

90 FAQs Cont 3. Which of the BoKs is better ASQ or IQF? ASQ BoK covers wide range of topics and helps develop breadth of the subjects. Typical list includes DMAIC, DFSS, Lean, Benchmarking, Taguchi, TRIZ, Facilitation ti and Team Building etc. IQF BoK covers few topics in greater depth. Typical list includes distributions, MSA, ANOVA, Project Management, DoE etc. Both breadth and depth are required for a good six sigma professional. Hence ISL courses are designed combining both ASQ and IQF BoKs. ISL courses places greater emphasis on applications.

91 FAQs Cont 4. How many projects are required for IQF certification? IQF certification is free with ISL six sigma courses. Doing project is optional for IQF Green Belt certification. IQF Black Belt certification requires 2 projects. ISL recommends, doing one project (DMAIC) during Green Belt course and second project (DMAIC/DFSS) during Black Belt course. ISL do not require any official i letter for self sponsored students.

92 FAQs Cont 5. I had attended GB training/certified from my company, can I register for BB from ISL? No. IQF Body of Knowledge (BoK) is not covered in most of the corporate trainers and consultants. Without special preparation clearing IQF exam is difficult and hence we suggest you to take GB from ISL. This course is specially designed to prepare you for the IQF exam. Alternately, if you are confident, take IQF GB exam by paying USD 150. This fee is only for taking the IQF exam. If you clear the IQF GB exam, you can register for BB course directly. IQF exam is free with ISL courses.

93 FAQs Cont 6. I had attended BB training at my company, how can I take IQF certification? If you are confident, take IQF BB exam by paying USD 150. This fee is only for taking the IQF exam. Before taking the IQF exam, you need to submit 2 projects for assessment. You can register for ISL integrated BB course. This course will specially prepare for the exam. IQF exam is free with this course.

94 FAQs Cont 7. My company is not doing Six Sigma, how can I do projects? ISL do not require any official letter for self sponsored students. You will learn project selection in Module 1 of the GB course. Then select few projects and send us mail and we help you finalize one project. Then you can register your project in e- Facilitator and get step-by-step guidance.

95 FAQs Cont 8. How much savings are expected in a project? Self sponsored students are not expected to share the benefits with ISL. We expect the self sponsored students to demonstrate the application six sigma methodology and tools to real life project. Even if some of the actions are not implemented due to lack of support from management is also acceptable. Corporate sponsored students are expected to quantify financial benefits of the project before starting the project and also report the actual benefits.

96 Sample Projects Reduce recruitment time from 6 weeks to 4 weeks Reduce Attrition from 45% to 10% Increase productivity by 30% Increase customer satisfaction from 83% to 95% Reduce absenteeism from 25% to 10% Reduce 20 breakdowns per month to 5 breakdowns per month. Improve delivery compliance from 75% to 95% Increase Quotation conversion ratio from 35% to 45% Reduce the rejection from 12% to 3% Reduce the defects in Invoices from 2000 DPMO to 200 DPMO

97 Feedback of ISL-Certified GB Dear Sir, I would hereby like to thank you for all the knowledge & training I received from you, through your Green Belt Program. The Green belt program of ISL is one of the best as the material provided in it is very comprehensive and you are always there to help out in case of any doubts. There are very few trainers like this who can be approached so easily and frequently. The IQF certification i course I did through h ISL, not only helped me in getting good understanding of Six sigma tools, but also helped me in getting job of my desired profile. I m very ygrateful to you for all the help and knowledge you are still providing me. Thanks & regards Purnima

98 Feedback of ISL-Certified BB Dear Sir, I am one of your student who had received the black belt training from you in the month of April,2005 I am working in the automotive spare part manufacturing company Manufacturing sheet metal, etc Since being in an automotive industry I was aware of most of the quality tools which were used. But never new its actual use and depth of analysis. We used to do it just as a formality of the organization, its actual application and implementation was cleared to me only after attending your training and by doing projects. While doing this project your online support (e-facilitator) was the best it always made me feel that you are near me You re training and live project has helped me lot In building confidence level in me now I am very much confident then earlier. Previously I used to feel that sheet metal is the only field I can work because from last 5 years I am working in it only but now I am confident that I can work in any organization. And to my surprise I got a good opportunity in rubber industry as a QA Manager Th k f thi Thanks for every thing Your student Ajit Singh

99 Feedback of ISL-Certified BB Dear Sir, I want to personally thank you for your contribution ti to Six Sigma Implementation at Radius Power India. Even though, we are in initial stages of Six sigma in our company, we have generated extraordinary saving, which are much more than anticipated. The classroom training i conducted d by you was highly hl beneficial i to the team and did go a long way in deeply rooting Six Sigma in their Mindset. Your classroom training are very practical, with lot of real life examples.
