Manager Helps Company Save 7.5M Per Year, Gets Green Belt Certified
MAKATI CITY, Philippines- Aldrin Tandang, currently with Sky Cable Corporation, earned his Six Sigma Green Belt Certification last February 24 of this year. In a recent interview, Aldrin talks about his Six Sigma Experience as he identified the problems that were needed to be attended, the solutions that were necessary, and the changes that were delivered to his company.
| To be certified in Six Sigma, one has to complete an actual Six Sigma project and apply process improvement tools, methodology and techniques learned in class. "That's one reason why companies give high value for Certified Six Sigma individuals. One does not just attend a program and receive his certification, but has to successfully apply and show proper use of tools and methodology with actual work processes. One has to earn his Six Sigma certification," Tuozo said. "If you attend our Six Sigma programs, unlike other training providers, you get continuous support after the program, for no additional cost. You'll be assigned a Black Belt to help you complete your project," Tuozo added. | "That's one reason why companies give high value for Certified Six Sigma individuals.

| “Coaching process is very important. Why? This is your opportunity to listen from colleagues who have completed and experienced six sigma projects. They selflessly share the best practices using six sigma tools, and show how it should be practically done to make every results effective.” – Aldrin Tandang, Certified Six Sigma Green Belt | In the first quarter of 2015, there was an increasing rate of approximately 67.14% of non-moving box inventory of Sky Cable’s Warehouse. This resulted to the non-issuance of available boxes, and functional warehouse locations being occupied. Aldrin’s goal was to reduce the inventory rate to less than 5% by the end of September the same year. |
By the end of his project, Aldrin was able to achieve his goal. He was able to improve the process Sigma from 1.05 to 4.08; With non-moving boxes maintained below 5%, Marketing and Logistics Teams were able to yield good forecast. These results led to a financial impact of 500k per year in terms of Operational costs, 2M per year for Materials cost, and 5M per year for Warehouse costs – summing up to around 7.5 Million Pesos worth of savings per year.
“For those who are currently conducting their own projects, your focus is very vital to complete it.” -Aldrin
