A famous quote by "Benjamin Franklin" states “An Investment in Knowledge always pays the Best Interest”

Many aspirants who would like to start their career in the world of quality and process excellence may have heard people talking about Lean Six Sigma and would be interested to know about it

At the outset, let us understand what is Lean Six Sigma?

According to a study, Lean and Six Sigma are two of the world’s most renowned and most practiced continuous improvement methodologies. Lean and Six Sigma are two different continuous Improvement methodologies that rely on a collaborative team effort to improve performance by means of systematic working. Together Lean and Six Sigma provide more leverage with their tools and techniques which help reduce both waste and variation.

What I infer is that in order to successfully implement Lean Six Sigma, we should first understand the concepts, tools, and techniques of each methodology and create strategies to implement it successfully for the betterment of the World of Quality.

To invest in the knowledge we need to first find an Establishments that believes in quality and delivers the best knowledge to the interested professionals. As a professional, I was keen to find this place.

I did some research called up various establishments some with big names and fame and some not-so-famous ones. I got to speak to many people, some were keen to just fix the deal by offering discounts, some definitely had reputation and charm, some famous Professors or Trainers and so on.

I shortlisted on a few institutes and made a list of the USPs and value adds of each and then finally zeroed into NIQC International.

 There were positives and negatives and I was keen on what is beneficial to me and what mattered to me which I have jotted down.

To conclude it’s the knowledge that brings you success more than the certification alone.
