What is Six Sigma?
Six Sigma is a fact based, data driven philosophy in quality improvement that values defect prevention over defect detection methods. Six Sigma drives customer satisfaction and bottom line profit improvement by reducing variation and eliminating Lean waste, thereby continually improving organisations' competitive position.

Six Sigma applies everywhere that variation and waste exists, and as a consequence applies to all organisations, processes, systems, methods and everywhere people are involved in work or play. The Six Sigma tools are designed to improve processes, products and services. They are extensively used in manufacturing, food, banking, service, utilities, education, construction, defence, electronics and by software developers.

The University of South Australia has an agreement with the American Society for Quality to deliver Six Sigma Green and Black Belt programs. These programs are designed to provide participants with the necessary skills and knowledge for the ASQ Certification examination. We also have several UniSA developed Statistical short courses to assist people to understand and apply essential statistical tools to their businesses.

The ASQ is the world's leading member organisation devoted to quality and productivity improvement and is a global benchmark in Six Sigma Certification/Qualification. The certification from the ASQ is considered a mark of quality excellence by most industries around the world.image of books, glasses and calculator
