Master of Business Administration in Six Sigma

Program Overview

Master of Business Administration in Six Sigma

Six Sigma is one of the most widely used quality management approaches in the business world, utilized to gain production and operational efficiencies, as well as customer service improvements, across multiple industries. Business, engineering, and technical professionals can prepare for Six Sigma certification and earn a respected MBA in as few as 12 months.

MBA in Six Sigma courses are taught trainer with extensive experience in Six Sigma applications or via E-Learning Mode. Through business case-study analysis and computer technology, students will learn quality management approaches, how to use statistical tools, and effective quality improvement techniques. As part of the MBA in Six Sigma Quality studies, students gain a thorough understanding of define, measure, analyze, improve, control (DMAIC).the statistical and analytical method used to reduce defects by finding the root causes of defects, eliminating them, and sustaining that improvement level.

Six Sigma is a set of practices to systematically improve processes by eliminating defects. A defect is defined as failure of a product, process or service in meeting requirements of internal or external customers.

What is Six Sigma

The Six Sigma ensures the quality control, total quality management and zero defects. Through the implementation of the Six Sigma it is made sure that the goals are set on the improvement of all processes to reach the level of better quality. .The Six Sigma. shows the organization.s ability of highly capable processing in producing the outputs within the limited specifications. Therefore it can be said that the processes that operates with the Six Sigma quality, is able to produce a quality products at a low rate of defects.

Six Sigma approach is being widely used all over the world for reduction in process variation and waste elimination. A large number of organizations are using Six Sigma approach in the following areas:-

1) Reduce rejection, scrap and rework

2) Reduce customer complaints

3) Reduce field failures

4) Optimize processes to improve productivity and reduce manufacturing costs in terms of energy consumption

5) Set appropriate tolerances on dimensions process and parameters.

MBA Degree Requirement

Applicants must have a recognized Bachelor degree in any discipline from an accredited college or university; Postgraduate Diploma or a recognized Graduate Certificate; or a recognized Diploma and 2 years work experience.
