As a Kansas City business leader, you are likely always looking for ways to accomplish more. Managers and employees alike may feel like there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything that is asked of them, and this may often be a result of an inefficient system. Many organizations have defects that lead to wasted time and energy while working, eventually leading to an unfinished workday. Fortunately, there are ways to fix a broken system. Through Six Sigma training for your Kansas City business, you and your team can become more efficient and get more done in less time.
Six Sigma Defined
Six Sigma aims to improve the processes of work performed by teams and individuals. It is a philosophy and methodology for management developed in the 1980s in order to make manufacturing more efficient. The process is similar to the scientific method. A manager trained as a black belt will analyze a system to ensure it is running smoothly. He or she will collect data that shows any problems in the system. If a problem is detected, a solution must be developed to fix the inefficiency. The manager will continue to analyze the new system to ensure it is working properly.

Six Sigma in Practice
Six Sigma works because it applies specific measuring devices to find problems in a system, often referred to as defects. A defect could be almost anything. For example:
In one Kansas City company, there is a lack of communication between the managers and the team, and specific tasks are missed by the workforce. The mistake goes unnoticed until the end of the day when a manager asks the workers to revisit the missed assignment. Instead of leaving the office at a normal hour, workers must stay late to try and catch up. Because they are unhappy about working late, the missed project is completed, but work is sloppy and not up to normal standards. The problem continues to snowball and the company underperforms its production projections.
By implementing Six Sigma training for this Kansas City company example the defect, in this case improper communication, can be found. Once defects are detected, a solution is developed. A better communication system can be implemented so that tasks are performed when they should be, allowing them to be completed on time and up to par as set by the organization.
