Nasmyth Group ran its first Six Sigma programme in 2011 and has since adopted its principles and practices across the Group as a way to drive continuous improvement in all of the Group’s operational areas.
Six Sigma was originally developed by Motorola in 1986 to identify and remove the causes of defects and errors in manufacturing and business processes. Today, it is used across a wide range of industrial sectors, typically to create a core of improvement experts who are graded by belt colour.
This latest programme was run by Lean Six Sigma training specialists, Capella Associates, who will be running another Green Belt programme in September on which seven places have already been booked for Nasmyth Group employees.
