The benefits of following the Six Sigma concept and using the accompanying methods are many.

Improving the efficiency and effectiveness of your processes by aligning them with your customer's needs.

Although some Six Sigma concepts and tools are similar to those used for CQI, Six Sigma emphasizes the following points:

An increased focus on quality as defined by your customers. The sigma score directly addresses this issue.

Prioritization of your improvement projects and alignment of your key resources to support your organization's key strategic initiatives.

Qimpro's Six Sigma services stress the role of executive leadership, strategic planning, customer focus, and business results. Branded as Strategic Six Sigma, Qimpro's offerings are classified as follows:

Six Sigma is a top-down initiative. In order to attain world-class stature, it should be integrated into the business strategy, along with marketing, technical and financial dimensions.

Qimpro facilitates a resource (time) commitment exercise with the Leadership Council; definition of strategic goals for core processes; a roles and responsibilities exercise with the Champions of the core processes.

Since Six Sigma is a top-down methodology, the Leadership Council and
Champions must focus on the vital few problems in their core processes.

Qimpro facilitates definition of performance measures for core processes, to enable business alignment; mapping of cross-functional core processes to understand the scope of vital problems; selection of team members, because a problem selects the team.

Six Sigma implementation involves a very structured methodology. Critical to the success of Six Sigma implementation is having a clear understanding of the hard and soft skills required by Green Belts and Black Belts. This involves significant training, application and lessons learned.

Qimpro conducts certification courses for Green Belts with a focus on the DMAIC methodology; for Black Belts with a focus on advanced tools as well as facilitation skills, beyond the Green Belt curriculum.

All Six Sigma projects require adept review and facilitation in order to achieve strategic goals.

Qimpro offers review and facilitation services to enable Six Sigma teams to understand the Charter and maintain a project focus; prepare for a toll-gate review by the Leadership Council; build a control spread sheet to hold the gains.

Qimpro conducts an annual competition for the Qimpro Bronze Standard for active practitioners of the Six Sigma and Juran Trilogy methodologies. The Bronze Standard is awarded to a role model improvement facilitator in India.

Qimpro also conducts an annual competition for the QualTech Prize. The Prize is awarded to a Six Sigma Team that has achieved a distinguished breakthrough.
