Hi,

I am working in one of the Buying House in Gurgaon as a IT-Manager. We have well defined structured processes.

Would like to attend the Green Belt Training but not sure whether it will help me or not !!! any ideas.

Six Sigma GB Training is useful in any Industry.

Tools taught in GB would help in reducing variations in processes.

Best benefits from Training would be received when you have live project to work on.

Now, briefly explain your processes and any challenges you are facing.

This would help in assessing whether Training would be really useful in your case.

Hi Anupma,

As I written earlier that currently we are not having any Internal live project. I have to look into the process of our various department's & try to improve the same, if any.

In Buying houses, we have to follow certian guidelines of Buyers.

Secondly we are working with lot of factories (Structured & Unstructured) & we face lot of issues with them regarding the late Delivery, lack of information & Quality.

To be honest, I am not sure whether my Management will allow me to visit the factories & understand their internal processess & improve them, if required so I am confused whether should I particiapte in the GB training as my company will not sponsor  the fee.

Rajiv,

I understand your situation.

This business model very common in such Industry.

You have mentioned three issues with your factories.

Late Delivery,Missing Information,Quality

It is a challenge to manage out-sourcing suppliers and improve their process when you do not have direct control over it.

I have 11-yrs of experience in similar industry and business model.

Both LEAN and Six Sigma would be required to address above issues.

If your management do not sponsor you, There is an alternative, Ask your suppliers to send atleast 1-person for such training. They would be interested and comply since they would like to be a preferred supplier.

Getting GB Certificate is not important. Improving on above Matrices and Learing the methodologies are.

To Begin with create Voice of Customer (VOC) i.e. your Specifications / Requirements.

Then collect data on these Specs for each supplier. Analyse this data further to understand which supplier has large variation and needs improvement on which metrics.
