Why Does My Company Need
This Program?
Six Sigma Start-Up is an introductory course on the
principles and practices of Six Sigma. It is a web- and a
computer-based interactive training system that teaches operators,
engineers, supervisors, and managers the key concepts of six sigma so they
will be better prepared to support a company's six sigma efforts. The
program is ideal as a general introduction to Six Sigma for all employees as
well as for orienting new employees to the philosophy of Six Sigma.

If your company is just starting a Six Sigma Initiative
The first step to a successful Six Sigma implementation is creating
awareness and enthusiasm for Six Sigma throughout the workforce.
That usually means conducting short training sessions with all employees
to introduce them to the Six Sigma concepts and tools. However,
developing and delivering this type of overview can be time consuming and
expensive. In addition, scheduling training and assuring that all
employees participate in the overview can be a nightmare.
Instead of taking valuable time just getting your company ready to
implement Six Sigma with an introductory classroom training program, why
not let the Six Sigma Start-Up do it for you? Many
companies find that they can begin applying and benefiting from Six Sigma
more quickly with the Six Sigma Start-Up because the
difficult task of designing the overview course is already done for
them.
If you already are a Six Sigma Company
Just because you have completed your initial round of Six Sigma doesn't mean
that your Six Sigma training is over. Companies that have been involved in
Six Sigma initiatives for several years find that they are always needing to
provide refresher training as people change jobs and responsibilities internally
and as new employees are brought on board. It's easy to let this
important, on-going training slip because of the hassles of scheduling and
presenting the training. Often employees will be in a new job for several
months before a class is offered. However, with Six Sigma Start-Up
you don't have those hassles because it is always available and ready to train
at the moment of need.
