At The Manufacturing Institute, we understand that it\u2019s one thing to know what Six Sigma is<\/a>, and be aware of the benefits it could bring to your business. But, learning how to action it effectively during your manufacturing processes, well, that\u2019s a whole different story.

That\u2019s why we wanted to share our five top tips for a successful Six Sigma implementation. So let\u2019s dive straight in\u2026

1. Motivate your team<\/strong>

It\u2019s not as simple as saying \u2018let\u2019s adopt this methodology\u2019. You need to explain why, and give your employees a reason that can\u2019t be disputed. Devising a \u2018burning platform\u2019 is a good idea in this instance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

In case you\u2019re not aware, a burning platform is when you tell your workforce about dire circumstances (such as quality issues or losing business to competitors), so they embrace change. Don\u2019t feel you have to provide every detail; just enough to motivate and engage the team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. Link it to your strategy<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Six Sigma can\u2019t stand alone. It should be part of your business strategy and link to your objectives. You need to establish where you can take risks, and the activities that would benefit from Six Sigma implementation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

When strategising how you\u2019ll use the approach, make sure you have support from management. After all, if they\u2019re not buying into it, you can\u2019t expect your employees to either.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

3. Situate your resources<\/strong>

People, materials, technology \u2013 they\u2019re all at your fingertips. But as well as just using them, you need to make sure they\u2019re in the right place, unified, and able to execute relevant initiatives.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You\u2019ll also want to appoint a leader of the Six Sigma project in question. That way, there\u2019s always someone responsible for guaranteeing a successful implementation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

4. Measure your results<\/strong>

One of the main elements of Six Sigma is continuous improvement, that\u2019s why you need to have the necessary tools in place. This means creating a measurement system. By swiftly gaining the right data, better decisions can be made, and actions executed.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

For example, you can decide which resources to place where. And, with the help of a governance programme, you\u2019ll know if you\u2019re able to meet project timelines.

5. Provide continuous training<\/strong>

There\u2019s no doubt that Six Sigma is a powerful tool, but if only one person has the knowledge, you\u2019ll be left in the lurch if ever they leave the business. It\u2019s important to keep teaching the methodology, so that others can implement it too. Six Sigma achieves the highest levels of success when team members across the company are trained to lead an execution.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Don\u2019t forget that this training needs to be effective, which first requires an assessment. There are Yellow Belt, Green Belt and Black Belt courses available, and these should be analysed as to what\u2019s best for the individual, and<\/em> the organisation.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Learn with The Manufacturing Institute<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

As for our Six Sigma programmes, we provide in-depth coverage across the board. In fact, this is the feedback we often receive. Delegates have completed courses with other institutes, but found they didn\u2019t cover the same breadth. And so, they came to us to level up their knowledge and learn how to implement Six Sigma successfully.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you\u2019d like to find out more about our exceptional training, there\u2019s information available on our Yellow Belt<\/a>, Green Belt<\/a> and Black Belt<\/a> courses. We\u2019re also happy to answer any questions you might have, just speak to us today<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
