Benefits to the organisation

Six Sigma originated with Motorola, and started out as a quality improvement programme in the early 1980's. Motorola won the Malcolm Baldrige award for Excellence in 1988 and by the mid 1990's they had 60% of the mobile phone market, shareholder growth of 54% and were outperforming the NASDAQ index by 4:1
GE adapted Six Sigma in 1995, and the annual report in 1997 quoted that "Six Sigma has spread like wildfire across the company, and it is transforming everything we do." After 10 years GE claimed savings of over $10Bn for their programme and in May 2009 were listed in number 1 slot on the Forbes list of the world's biggest companies. Between 1996 and 2005 the GE stock price has outperformed the NASDAQ index by almost 2:1
Toyota Motor Corporation developed the Toyota production system. The same approach has been adopted in many organisations in different sectors, and has become known today as Lean. A UK study looked at 500 lean projects across a variety of industries over 5 years, and calculated the average benefit to the organisation of £150K per lean event. A global study of 3,000 six sigma projects by Mikel Harry showed the average value per project to be £100k

Customer Feedback

The knowledge that I have gained will be very useful, thank you for an outstanding course.

SigmaPro has partnered Apex over several years with a great deal of success. With the help of SigmaPro consultants we have been able to achieve measurable benefits and develop a systematic approach to business improvement.

There was a lot of useful information delivered in quite a short time. I particularly enjoyed the chance to ask further questions and approach the tutor directly after the course.

The tutor was extremely professional and adapted to specific requirements of the class, excellent facilitator. Overall an excellent course.

SigmaPro have helped us develop a high level understanding of Manufacturing Excellence. They have worked in close cooperation with us to support our culture change. We have been very satisfied with the support and training given across all levels of the Global Organisation and the high return on investment achieved.

SigmaPro have worked with our organisation since day one of the implementation of Six Sigma. The entire staff have been exceptional in assessing our corporate needs, providing state of the art training balanced with real world experiences, all while making sure that a clear roadmap for success is laid out before us to follow. I highly recommend the services provided by SigmaPro. They are second to none.

A very useful course, lively delivery! I wish all training courses were like this!

SigmaPro's Master Black Belt Course was exactly what I needed. [...] most technically demanding course I found in my search for a MBB curriculum and the materials focus intensely on the statistical analysis foundations of the Lean Six Sigma discipline. My goal in attending MBB training was to go to the next level of understanding [...] and SigmaPro exceeded all my expectations!

I have been fortunate enough to participate in SigmaPro's Black Belt and Master Black Belt training courses. The instruction and materials are outstanding. SigmaPro consultants go the extra mile to assist you in your quest to understand the material and its applications. I would highly recommend these courses to anyone interested in developing an understanding of the Six Sigma methodology.

Thanks again for all your help. The training went really well, great tutor also all our candidates commented on how well the training was presented and managed.

The course is brilliant and I am really pleased with the skills that I have learnt and cannot wait to develop them further.

The course was both insightful and challenging and provoked a lot of thought around the tools of Six Sigma. The syllabus and mathematical content proved to be very helpful in understanding the rationale behind the various advanced methods of data analysis.
