Your Six Sigma Refresher Guide
Tony Jacowski
Quality – or lack thereof – on any level often comes at an extremely high cost. Conversely, business organizations running Six Sigma will usually spend only five percent or less of their earnings on resolving problems.
So what is Six Sigma? It is a detailed systematic statistical operation which will help an organization to discover, decrease, and ultimately remove all defects or errors from any product, system, or business action.
Definition
This process is a well renowned methodology used by many organizations worldwide as a business improvement system. In fact it is more than a “quality assurance” program; it is an ever changing and progressively continual revenue enhancement operation and process initiative that helps your organization uncover problems and find solutions.
At its essence, the Six Sigma system states that process speed is directly related to process elasticity. The Law of Velocity says that the velocity of any process is inversely proportional to the amount of work in progress. The 5 Sigma shift is intended to compensate for average deviation; thus the ratios are much lower and the defect rates are much more reasonable.
The heart of the 6 Sigma idea is that the work being done in a process or operation should be driven entirely by customer demand rather than any other factors.
Results
DMAIC is an acronym for five interconnected phases: Define Measure, Analyze, Improve, and Control; this is one of the two widely used Six Sigma designs. The other system DMADV stands for: Define Measure, Analyze, Design, and Verify. The overall results are shown through use of these systems are applicable to the core business process.
Additionally, it has been determined that the financial increases and the cultural change in management skills of smaller firms happen at a swift pace. By applying these strategies in the small business environment will help achieve the necessary results almost immediately because the timeframe between employing the system and actually noticing the visible results are almost simultaneous. The milestones for impressive results are financial up trends, better employee satisfaction, and finally the satisfied customer.
In fact, tangible results can be measured right away through the noticed reduction in the number of defective products, small amounts of customer returns and reduced amounts of worthless inventory.
By starting the initial implementation with a test program, you will get the visible results required without destroying your cash flow as with a company-wide roll-out. The results garnered with the test program can then be duplicated throughout your company’s business operation at an extremely rapid pace.

Principles of Safety and Occupational Health Training
Ryan Arsendatama
To become an occupational health and safety professional you must have educational qualifications and experience. You also must pass certain written examinations. All occupational health and safety specialists and technicians must go through on the job and classroom training, to learn about the relevant laws and inspection procedures.
The federal government and some other employers require that you have a 4-year college degree in safety, or some allied subject, to be eligible for some specialist positions. To apply for some positions, it is also necessary to have relevant working experience. To be successful in this field, it is essential to be aware of the principles of safety and occupational health training.
Certification
Certification is available through the American Board of Industrial Hygiene (ABIH) and the Board of Certified Safety Professionals (BCIP). The Certified Industrial Hygienist (CIH) and Certified Associate Industrial Hygienist (CAIH) credentials are offered by the ABIH. The Certified Safety Professional (CSP) credential is offered by the BCIP. Certification is voluntary, though many employers encourage it.
The Council on Certification of Health, Environmental and Safety Technologists is a joint effort between the ABIH and BCIP. It awards the Occupational Health and Safety Technologist (OHST) credential. For certification, you must first meet the qualification and experience requirements and then write an examination.
Being Up To Date
Health and safety training services aim to keep you informed about the latest changes in workplace safety, risk assessment and management, indoor air quality, industrial hygiene, laboratory design etc. Nuclear safety, radiation waste management, radiation protection and environmental management are also covered. The principles of safety and occupational health training need to be followed for the training programs to be effective.
Getting a Buy-In
As per the principles of safety and occupational health training, before starting a workplace health and safety training program it is better to do a survey to identify the underlying concerns of the employees to get clarity and to get a buy-in from employees of all levels.
Employee Health and Safety
Employee health and safety training programs are initiated with the objective of making employees take responsibility for their own health. This can be done through programs for enhanced fitness, weight control, better nutrition and stress management. Programs for giving up smoking, better use of medical services and control of chronic illnesses are also organized.
These programs can make employees feel that the employer cares for their well-being. They can reduce absenteeism, lower health care costs and make employees more fit to work. Professional counseling can help employees to deal with issues like substance abuse and family problems. This is as per the principles of safety and occupational health training.
