Pn. Nuraslina Zainal Abidin, Group CEO, Genaxis Sdn Bhd, said “Trade liberalization initiatives are becoming a norm in today’s business environment. To compete globally, Malaysian companies will need to place more emphasis on increasing their competitive advantage. One way to do this is to focus on quality management confirming to globally accepted standards set by the International Standards Organization (ISO) or the implementation of the Six Sigma program, to improve efficiency and increase profit. That is the reason Genaxis has decided to form this partnership with ASQ to support Malaysian companies to compete in the global markets. With this partnership, Genaxis will be the first and only Malaysian based company to provide this globally recognized training and certification to our customers.”
Tommy Tam, Director – Global Market Development of ASQ, said “Bringing quality training to Malaysia is in line with our vision to make quality a global priority. The partnership with Genaxis will allow the dissemination of ASQ Body of Knowledge to the corporations and their work force to produce quality goods and services for a sustaining worldwide environment for quality.”
Six Sigma is a statistical measure of variability, typically in a given process, and a business performance target specifically focused on critical customer specifications. Variation is the cause of defects and out-of-control processes. According to leading estimates, most companies today are operating at levels of around four sigma, or approximately 6,000 defect per million. When a company has achieved a Six Sigma rate of improvement, it has limited defects to 3.4 per million, which is virtually defect-free performance.
Six Sigma is a committed management approach to quantifiably solve problems and optimize critical processes. Adapting and applying Six Sigma methodologies can lead to dramatically improved business performance and bottom-line profitability. Six Sigma is not designed solely for manufacturing enterprises. Financial institutions, healthcare organizations and service providers are also reaping the benefits of Six Sigma deployment.
Implementing Six Sigma into your corporate culture improves processes, maximizes business performance, and adds to your bottom-line. Even better is the end results: a huge competitive edge for your company in the marketplace. What makes Six Sigma work is well-chosen training and a top-down commitment that permeates your organization.
