2011 Six Sigma Green Belt course aims to help manufacturers save between £25,000 and £100,000.For manufacturers who find they are making too many products that are rejected under quality control, using too much raw material and producing far too much scrap at start-up, The Manufacturing Institute's Six Sigma Green Belt course helps by equipping delegates with the tools to implement cost savings of up to £100,000.
Six Sigma, originally developed by USA electronics giant Motorola, has become the adopted strategy for manufacturing businesses to improve the quality of their production through the identification and removal of defect causes and the minimising, or in some cases, elimination of those processes that may cause a variability in output.
If all that seems quite a mouthful, the bottom-line is that by guiding the business through the six Sigma 'levels' of increasing percentage product yield, by the time they reach Sigma level 6, the manufacturer will be producing 99.99% right-first-time products. And with some business starting from a low as small as 31% right-first-time, this means vastly reduced rejection and waste and proportionally increased yield, resulting in an all-important increase in bottom-line profit.
The Manufacturing Institute's 2011 Six Sigma Green Belt Course, in two blocks of 5 days, takes place during the weeks beginning 24th January and 7th February respectively. Run by qualified practitioners, offering real life case studies supported by mentoring facilities, the course is aimed at improvement team leaders and members in production, manufacturing, works and operations.
Any manufacturers interested in fielding candidates and consequently using their knowledge gained from the course to save the business waste and money and increase productivity, should register with The Manufacturing Institute by contacting Anne Campion by email annc@manufacturinginstitute.co.uk ) or phoning Anne direct on 0161 875 2511 Web:www.manufacturinginstitute.co.uk
