Quality Control, A lost art that is needed Today
When you go and but the Apple IPod, IPad, or the IPhone, almost without thinking about it you assume that it is a good product and that it will deliver what it says it will on its packaging. The unspoken item in all businesses is quality, quality of its products and or services. To this end was created Sigma Six.
In the early 1970’s Motorola, the giant cell phone maker, saw and was very disappointed in the lack of quality items and services in the business market. So Motorola took it upon itself to hire and train a group of quality control experts who would then take this training to other firms so that they could be certified as well in what is known today as Six Sigma Certification. Six Sigma Certification is like a badge of honor that firms across many industries proudly display to their customers and competitors that our products and services are of the highest quality verified by our Six Sigma Certification.
This has enabled Motorola to make a nice profit of course, but it also helps to but the issue and practice of quality control in the fore front of not only businesses and their windows but in their mindsets as well. So knowing that they must ensure the highest quality in their products and services Six Sigma is implemented throughout the entire processes of firms that are in its certification program. They will check and double checks to make sure that all the I’s are dotted and the T’s crossed. This is what the paying public expects when they go to the market place.
So is Six Sigma perfect, not at all. What is the true value of Six Sigma is truly valuable in that it makes and ensures that those in its program practices quality control.
