Q: I will be beginning my Green Belt training in Six Sigma in a couple weeks. Six Sigma is primarily used for industries that involve assembly lines. I am just curious how Six Sigma can be used in a research / government facility. If so, can you share some project ideas ?

A: Design of Experiments is a big part of it. Research with casually designed, or even undesigned, experiments is flat out wasteful !
It is NOT just for assembly lines !
Your trainers will help you come up with ideas for your project.

Q: What are the different Six Sigma trainings offered? Also, which training organization in India would you suggest?

A: Six Sigma which seem to be in vogue today is one of the best methods to improve the profitability of an organization. Six Sigma training helps an organization improve its business processes and most importantly it can be applied to all the sectors and across each vertical. Six Sigma trainings help professionals inculcate process thinking and better problem solving capabilities besides learning the Six Sigma tools & techniques. This quality makes Six Sigma certified professionals most sought after in the job market.

Six Sigma trainings are conducted at two levels:
1. Six Sigma Green Belt Certification for beginners to understand the DMAIC methodology and the various tools & techniques.
2. Six Sigma Black Belt Certification for Green Belts wanting to learn advanced Six Sigma tools and techniques.
