In the process of developing and producing goods and services, companies naturally encounter defects and delays that lead to customer dissatisfaction and loss of sales, due to mistakes that could have easily been avoided.

Lean Six Sigma is a methodology that limits mistakes to a minimum possible. The iACADEMY School of Continuing Education (iSCE) offers the Lean Six Sigma Training Program.

Lean Six Sigma is a systematic, disciplined, customer focused, and data-driven process improvement methodology in order to reduce delays and defects. It gives the individual the ability to solve problems and reduce mistakes with the use of various techniques and tools specifically modeled for Lean Six Sigma professionals.

There are three (3) levels of Lean Six Sigma, namely: Yellow Belt, Green Belt, and Black Belt. Through the program offered by iSCE, an opportunity to accomplish Yellow Belt and Green Belt levels will be satisfied. The guest instructor is Mr. Rex Jayson Tuozo, a Certified Six Sigma Master Black Belt.

The program was initially offered on June 2013, and due to positive feedback from the professionals who enrolled, the iSCE will have it available again on August, October, and November. The program includes eight (8) hour sessions for four (4) days, on Fridays and Saturdays. An additional consultation period with Mr. Rex Jayson Tuozo is a bonus for those who will enroll.

Federal Reserve (US Central Bank) printed defective 30 million pieces of new $100 bills to be shredded because of ink errors.  I hope our Bangko Sentral would not find itself on the same situation.

The point is, Cost of Poor Quality (COPQ) of processes is VERY EXPENSIVE
Process delays, defects and variations are cash leaks that flushes-out your business' profits.  These are your hidden expenses.  Invest in a quality program like Six Sigma, to reduce your COPQ.

82% of Fortune 100 Companies & 53% of Fortune 500 companies have a Six Sigma Program
Over the past 20 years, use of Six Sigma, the popular business improvement methodology, has saved Fortune 500 companies an estimated $427 billion, according to research published in the January/February 2007 issue of iSixSigma Magazine.

Not only will you get ROI on your Six Sigma program, but will also reap non-financial benefits which are priceless: increase in employee motivation, decrease employee burn-out due to unending fire fighting, decrease employee turn-over, increase customer satisfaction, etc.

It's your call.  Ignore your hidden costs or start a Lean Six Sigma initiative.
