what is ISO 6 sigma certification?
105156
There is no certification process for 6 Sigma.  It is not a contractual standard like ISO 9000 for which certification is possible.

You cannot "self-certify."\n\nThe following article refers to ISO 9001 which is equivalent to OHSAS 18001:\n\n"Both the accreditation bodies and the certification bodies charge fees for their services."\n\nSource: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_9001

I think the concepts of six sigma are industry independent, in that you could use for any type.  I think they are using six sigma for things as diverse as education.  Maybe six sigma could take a hold of in social non-profit organizations to solve significant social issues.  That would be interesting.

It is basically the Six Sigma Methodology but integrated with Lean Manufacturing Tools in the Define Phase and in the improvement process.\n\nYes, I am an Industrial Engineer... also a Six Sigma Black Belt, and was trained in Lean Manufacturing.  If you need more info email me... nunezf@yahoo.com

Six Sigma certification usually involves both an education and a project portion.  There are two main levels for which certifications are normally given:  Green Belt and Black Belt.  I typical Green Belt certification involves 2 full weeks of education, whereas Black Belt certification normally involves 4 or more full weeks.  Both usually require a project, but a Black Belt project will be more involved and will ususally last 4-6 months.    \n\nThe curriculum usually involves process improvement and problem solving tools to be used in the DMAIC approach.  DMAIC consists of Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control.  \n\nIn the define stage, you learn to properly state the problem at hand, form an effective cross-functional team to be involved in the project, and state a goal in terms useful to the process owner and to senior management (dollars saved, define the scope of the project, and begin to map the process at hand.\n\nIn the measure stage, you check the measurement systems that are involved to ensure that they will produce reliable data, and you establish a baseline to which to compare the improvments.\n\nIn analyze, you gather and select possible solutions, collect and analyze data to support the solution.\n\nIn improve, you implement the solutions generated from the analyze phase.\n\nIn control, you create a plan to ensure that the improvments are sustained and you transfer ownership of these improvments to the process owners to allow for work on another project.\n\nThere are some organizations beginning to offer master black belt certification, which normally requires at least 3 projects completed and sometimes up to ten, and more education, possible DFSS (design for six sigma) and courses to help with training black belts.  Sometimes actually experience training or mentoring black belts is required.

Somewhere between 6-15% is an industry standard.

i have a Masters in QM.. did it from Univ. of Wollongong in Dubai.. the scope is good for Quality Auditors, Health Safety and Environment inspectors.. moreover, u can set up ur won Quality Consultancy like i am planning to do.. there is good money from these if you have good contacts.. remember, today all the businesses want their products to be known as Quality goods.. alternatively, u can work in productions, or as statisticians conducting sample tests, like statistical process control, business re-engineering. \n\nBuddy, there is a hell of a world out there for this field.. go ahead and study it.. ALL THE BEST !!!\n\ncan u pls give me some points here.. i need them bad!

Don’t confuse Accuracy, Resolution with Sensitivity. \n\nAccuracy \n\nAccuracy describes the amount of uncertainty that exists in a measurement with respect to the relevant absolute standard. It can be defined in several different ways and is dependent on the specification philosophy of the supplier as well as product design.\n\nResolution \n\nIn relative amounts, resolution describes the degree to which a change can be detected. It is expressed as a fraction of an amount to which you can easily relate. For example, printer manufacturers often describe resolution as dots per inch, which is easier to relate to than dots per page.\n\nSensitivity \n\nSensitivity is an absolute quantity; resolution is a relative quantity. Sensitivity describes the smallest absolute amount of change that can be detected by a measurement, often expressed in terms of millivolts, microhms, or tenths of a degree.\nSensitivity should not be confused with accuracy—they are entirely different parameters. For example, a device specified with 1-mV sensitivity may only be accurate to 10 mV with an applied input of 10 V. Yet if the 10-V input signal changed by 1 mV, the device still could observe the difference. Sensitivity sometimes can be improved by averaging. \n\nhttp://www.evaluationengineering.com/archive/articles/1298pct.htm\n\nAccuracy is usually determined at 4 points 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% of full scale. This is accomplished by:\n \n1.Placing the dial indicator in a stand.\n2.Place the stand on a clean surface plate.\n3.Select a gage block of any size.\n4.Preload the indicator a few divisions (insure the lever is horizontal to the plate).\n5.Spin the dial until the DI reads zero. \n6.Place another gage block (or wrung gage blocks) under the lever that’s 25% of full scale. DI should read desired value +/-1 div..\n7. Repeat at 50%, 75% and 100% of full scale.\n\nSensitivity is the smallest value that an instrument can measure. What makes this confusing on a dial indicator is it is generally also +/-1 division but the method to measure it is different. \n\nAfter step 6 perform the following:\n\n8.Remove the 25% gage block.\n9.Select a gage block 1 division from the 25% block. (Normally 0.001”) \n10.Place the block under the DI and verify it reads +/-1 div.\n11.Repeat at 50%, 75% and 100% of full scale.\n\nWe use a lot of GIDEP calibration procedures. They’re military manuals available to the public because well; we paid for them with our tax money. It’s worth it’s weight in gold.\n\nhttp://www.gidep.org/\n\nWhat is GIDEP?\n\nGIDEP (Government-Industry Data Exchange Program) is a cooperative activity between government and industry participants seeking to reduce or eliminate expenditures of resources by sharing technical information essential during research, design, development, production and operational phases of the life cycle of systems, facilities and equipment.

A method or set of techniques, Six Sigma has also become a movement focused on business process improvement. It is a quality measurement and improvement program originally developed by Motorola that focuses on the control of a process to the point of ± six sigma (standard deviations) from a centerline, or put another way, 3.4 defects per million items. A Six Sigma systematic quality program provides businesses with the tools to improve the capability of their business processes.

Its a certification in JAVA programming in all its components.\nYOU would prpbably be able to find a syllabus at suns site.

There are many types of ISO. Those are refered to ISO Standards..\n\nTake a look at the standard website:\nhttp://www.iso.org/\n\nI cant' explain all the stuff, it would be just copy paste from their website.\n\nEnjoy

it means it is 6 micrometeres thick or 6 tenths of a millimeter

Is sigma a constant?  If not, then you need more information.

software quality is a goal to reach.\nwhen you have reached that goal, then it's quality software.

i am still computer engineering student just for you to know if ever my answer is not as accurate as you expected.i have just finished lately my software engineering subject and i think i can still remember it.\nAnswer: There is that so-called IEEE standard 730 that sets its software quality assurance. The IEEE standard 730 have some specifications or criteria to determine a software's quality.This quality assurance is actually plans to attain specific goal for a software.This plans are purpose,documentation,code control,training, supplier control,test, review and audits,media control,management,risk management..etc.I think there are 15 software quality assurance plans and im sorry i cannot recall the remaining ones.Of course each plan have its objectives,just like the purpose for example-"the product is intended for what". i assume i answered the technique you are pertaining to.That's all i know.Im happy to answer this  question.:)For further information you can read the software engineering by Hans Van Vliet
