I would suggest you go for course in CCNA. Its a nice one and industry oriented. Recently a friend of mine in India did this course and no sooner he wrote the exam than an MNC picked him up!

Companies such as GE and Motorola of course train and certify their own Six Sigma Black Belts and Master Black Belts but there are private companies that do the training as well. The training requirements are rigorous around statistical analysis and mathematics. It helps to be excellent at Excel and Minitab and have a curious mind. I will attach a good web site to get started and find some private courses. Today, most companies add training for Lean principles into Six Sigma but really they have little intrinsically to do with one another.\n\nEdit:\n\nIn that case, I would add some things below, including 101 things a BB should know\n\nhttp://www.pyzdek.com/101.htm\n\nHow to certify:\n\nhttp://www.pyzdek.com/PDF/2001-03.pdf\n\nAn appraisal form\n\nhttp://www.isixsigma.com/library/content/c030305a.asp\n\nA good practice exam\n\nhttp://www.qualityamerica.com/Exams/Public/Blackbelt/login.ahtml\n\nHit me up if you have more questions \n\n(I am a certified BB in case you had not guessed)

I think the phrase you really want is "Total Quality Management" not leadership.  You may also want to look at "Sigma 6" and "Just in time inventory" as google searches if you're looking for that sort of information.

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

what are you certified in?

The MSCE and Comptia are recognized certifications that let prospective employers know of your qualifications.\n\nPersons with these certifications will always be accepted to IT positions over those that do not. There are certification exams for Unix as well and many other computing related disciplines.\n\nOkay! Ask yourself if you'd want a Shade Tree mechanic working on your car or if you'd prefer one with certifications in automotive technology.

Generally companies look for MCSE certification although Linux+ is good to have as well.\nA+ is ok but companies tend to consider MCSE cert. as a good all rounder.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nCheers!

If you are not certified, try to get a Six Sigma Black Belt or Master Black Belt Certification, an APICS CPIM or the new CSCP (Certified Supply Chain Specialist) and become an ISO Registrar.  It will take some time.  Use your own funds so no company has inherent rights over your future.  With all of those credentials, and your experience, you may go into consulting.  This way you will be in control of where, when and even if you want to work.  You may want start to publish about Operations and Materials Management applied to every day life (i.e.  Lean manufacturing principles in the kitchen) which will give you exposure and credibility.  You may also join the armed forces reserves like I did.

CCNA is good (its a network certification though).  MCDBA is ok.  To be honest with you, its better to be an Oracle certified, its much more respected.  I took the first course for the MCDBA and my professor taught us 11th grade information such as what is a bit? what is an ethernet? so I rather learn that from work experience than pay for mcdba courses.

There are many different methods and programs that are used for managing project quality, Six Sigma is one that comes to mind, my company changes methods about every 18 months.\n\nstart here  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_management\n\ngoole showed 367 million hits on the question

Hi,\nBefore i can answer this question, i want to clarify what is your background? if you are asking this question just out of curiosity then the answers given by others are decent enough.\nBut if you are really want to do some six sigma project then you can read next lines..\n\nSix Sigma stands for Six Standard Deviations (Sigma is the Greek letter used to represent standard deviation in statistics) from mean. Six Sigma methodology provides the techniques and tools to improve the capability and reduce the defects in any process. \n\nIt was started in Motorola, in its manufacturing division,  where millions of parts are made using the same process repeatedly. Eventually Six Sigma evolved and applied to other non manufacturing processes. Today you can apply Six Sigma to many fields such as Services, Medical and Insurance Procedures, Call Centers.\n\nSix Sigma methodology improves any existing business process by constantly reviewing and re-tuning the process.  To achieve this, Six Sigma uses a methodology known as DMAIC (Define opportunities, Measure performance, Analyze opportunity, Improve performance, Control performance).\n\nSix Sigma methodology can also be used to create a brand new business process from ground up using DFSS (Design For Six Sigma) principles. Six Sigma Strives for perfection. It allows for only 3.4 defects per million opportunities for each product or service transaction. Six Sigma relies heavily on statistical techniques to reduce defects and measure quality. \n\n\nSix Sigma experts (Green Belts and Black Belts) evaluate a business process and determine ways to improve upon the existing process. Six Sigma experts can also design a brand new business process using DFSS (Design For Six Sigma) principles. Typically its easier to define a new process with DFSS principles than refining an existing process to reduce the defects.\n\n\nSix Sigma incorporates the  basic principles and techniques used in Business, Statistics, and Engineering. These three form the core elements of Six Sigma. Six Sigma improves the process performance, decreases variation and maintains consistent quality of the process output. This leads to defect reduction and improvement in profits, product quality and customer satisfaction.\n\nSix Sigma methodology is also used in many Business Process Management initiatives these days. These Business Process Management initiatives are not necessarily related to manufacturing. Many of the BPM's that use Six Sigma in today's world include call centers, customer support, supply chain management and project management.\n\nCustomer requirements, design quality, metrics and measures, employee involvement and continuous improvement are main elements of Six Sigma Process Improvement.\n\nThe three key elements of Six Sigma are: \n \nCustomer Satisfaction\n\nDefining Processes and defining Metrics and Measures for Processes\nUsing and understanding Data and Systems\n\nSetting Goals for Improvement\n\nTeam Building and Involving Employees\nInvolving all employees is very important to Six Sigma. The company must involve all employees. Company must provide opportunities and incentives for employees to focus their talents and ability to satisfy customers. \n\n\n\n\n\nIf you have more queires then you can contact me on abhisheknjain5@gmail.com\ni am doing two projects of six sigma in Mindtree consulting Bangalore , India.\n\nI hope that with my little knowledge i will be helpful to you.

I bet ASTM D2729 is a technical specification!! Most ASTM standards are.\n\nYou'll need a copy to see the details.

I know of a website which offers a Six Sigma manual and Question bank among many other things. Try visiting it and see if it suits your needs.\nwww.treqna.com

CCNA is the best entry level certification. It is a very fundamental certification unlike other vendor proprietary certifications.\n\nGo Ahead and do this certification, you should not have any regret.
