Six Sigma Effectiveness:

This means a dramatic reduc¬tion of defects within a process; that is what the essence of Six Sigma is. It also helps to increase the quality of products which in turn will improve customer satisfaction and reduce cost.

Higher efficiency and productivity: Through Six Sigma, the organisation can streamline its processes and work more efficiently, with no extraneous activity.

-Financial performance: It may indicate better financial returns like revenues and profitability may be achieved with decreased defects, increased efficiency and with an avenue of high customer satisfaction.
-Boosted employee morale and engagement: Six Sigma empowers the employee since it teaches them methods to solve problems hence, it makes them more engaged employees.
However, it is crucial to note that success in Six Sigma depends on several factors:

-Strong leadership commitment: There is no doubt that executive sponsorship is a critical aspect of Six Sigma programs.

-Appropriate training and certification: People in an organization must be trained and accredited especially in the area of Six Sigma.

Data-driven approach: Six Sigma is big on statistics as it involves working towards finding out the root causes of issues.

Continuous improvement: It is also important for one to understand that Six Sigma is not a project rather it is a chronic process. Six Sigma Certification Agencies:

This means that no institution will issue organisations a single ‘official’ rating for ‘Six Sigma’. Almost all credible organizations are awarding Six Sigma certifications for individual individuals and evaluating the deployment of Six Sigma principles in an organization. A few of them include:

ASQ (American Society for Quality) This is the most recognized institution of all. Six Sigma certification offered by ASQ varies in a hierarchy system that include Yellow Belt, Brown Belt, Green Belt, Black Belt and more.
The third best international company offering Six Sigma certifications.
-IIE (Institute of Industrial Engineers): Home to Six Sigma certification for those who work in different fields.

. While there is no institutional certification called the “Six Sigma rating,” per se.
