            The proper application of Six Sigma methodology can affect many different aspects of a business, from improvements of goods and services to employees investing more into the final product. Here are some benefits of using Six Sigma to improve a business operation.

 

  • Customer Satisfaction. With Six Sigma methodologies in use, a business will implement improved processes and better quality control, both of which should result in a better product. That, in turn, will lead to more satisfied customers.
  • Customer loyalty. Satisfied customers are customers who will stay loyal to a brand and return to make future purchases – as long as the product remains consistent in its quality.
  • Improve bottom line. Happy customers mean good word-of-mouth and also customers returning for more, all of which translates into a better revenue stream.  If publicly held, this can also mean a rise in share prices.
  • Employee satisfaction. One of the side benefits of Six Sigma is how it can rally employees to a common cause. Unlike companies where management often flounders, Six Sigma offers leaders a chance to clarify and streamline the message. Also, improved results can create a sense of camaraderie that leads to even more good results going forward. Nothing succeeds like success.
  • Better partnerships. Whenever a company does well, other companies associated with it can see improvements, as well. This can lead to long-term partnerships as well as having other companies adopt similar Six Sigma strategies for their companies.

    This Six Signa Green Belt is definitely a good start, but don't forget that these days corporation are looking for supply chain leaders that have strong business skill - persuasive communication skill, cross functional leadership, change management - just as much as technical skill. There is a much less emphasis on only technical skill than say 10 years ago, but you definitely need that to get through the door.

Six Sigma helps you to do the thing the right way using statistical approach, and you have to know that working things many times without statistics it is like doing them any time like you are doing them for the first time and that mean repeating the errors again and again, but with taking statistics in consideration you will keep adding value to the next operation. In supply chain you always need to avoid errors that delay the process in some mid stations within the supply chain,and using six sigma approach in the chain will make it faster and safe from errors.
