At Portland State University's Professional Development Center, we look forward to
working with you as you begin your journey to world-class performance with Six Sigma.
Six Sigma is different, it can be important to both the success of your organization and your career. Six Sigma is arguably the most important business and industry initiative that involves statistical thinking and methods. Six Sigma works because it focuses on improving processes in a way that improves the outputs that are of critical interest of customers and other stakeholders.
Professional leaders can't turn a blind eye toward fifty-percent profit margins and over $20 billion in savings-financial numbers attributed to the modern and integrated management model known as "Six Sigma." That is why international, national, mid-sized and even small regional manufacturers and institutions are looking to Six Sigma as a vital tool for achieving continuous and significant improvement.
"Six Sigma marries scientifically grounded methods with effective teamwork," says Steve Zagarola of The ZDM Group, a leading company working with private industry to implement Six Sigma thinking and practices. "It's a proven strategy for realizing an organization's maximum productivity and quality."
Six Sigma is a strategic approach that works across all processes, products, company functions and industries. The approach is based on the scientific method utilizing statistical thinking and methods.
