To help these professionals and develop a culture of zero defects, during the recess period (December 20th to January 7th), Emicol, in partnership with the consultancy Bacellar Trainings, trained 24 of its employees in the Green Belt methodology. The course had collaborators from the areas of research and development, industrial engineering, logistics, maintenance, tooling, continuous improvement, human resources, metrology and production.
As next steps, each employee must prepare a project using the techniques taught in the course in order to obtain certification. Each of the projects is different, but they all have cost reduction, quality improvement or resource optimization objectives.
So far, the Belts have achieved results in 10 projects aimed at reducing costs in the manufacturing process, three projects aimed at improving product quality and two projects to standardize the systematic of administrative procedures.
Six Sigma or Six Sigma is a set of practices originally developed by Motorola to systematically improve processes by eliminating defects.
Six Sigma can also be defined as a planned management strategy, focused on quality and financial results, with the objective of promoting significant changes in organizations, always seeking improvements in processes, products and services offered to customers.
