Six Sigma South Africa
Reduce variation.
Prove the result.
Certification-backed Lean Six Sigma training — White to Black Belt, in the classroom, live online, or in-house across South Africa and Africa.
Why it matters
This is what a “sigma level” buys you.
Every process varies. The higher its sigma level, the more of it lands inside spec — and the fewer defects escape. Drag the control and watch it happen.
Defects-per-million use the standard long-term 1.5σ shift — the same maths behind “Six Sigma = 3.4 defects per million”.

The business case
What is variation costing you?
Poor quality has a price — rework, scrap, refunds, lost customers. Put in your numbers and see what a higher sigma level is worth.
Most Six Sigma programmes lift a process by a full sigma level or more. That gap is the prize — and it's exactly what our Green and Black Belts are trained to capture.
