Can I know about six sigma and total quality management course? Which are the best colleges to pursue these course?

In comparison, six sigma is more than just a process improvement program as it is based on concepts that focus on continuous quality improvements for achieving near perfection by restricting the number of possible defects to less than 3.4 defects per million. It is complementary to statistical process control (SPC), which uses statistical methods for monitoring and controlling business processes. Although, both SPC and TQM help in improving quality, they often reach a stage after which no further quality improvements can be made. Six Sigma, on the other hand, is different as it focuses on taking quality improvement processes to the next level. The basic difference between six sigma and TQM is the approach. While TQM views quality as conformance to internal requirements, six sigma focuses on improving quality by reducing the number of defects. The end result may be the same in both the concepts (i.e. producing better quality products). Six Sigma helps organizations in reducing operational costs by focusing on defect reduction, cycle time reduction, and cost savings. It is different from conventional cost cutting measures that may reduce value and quality. It focuses on identifying and eliminating costs that provide no value to customers such as costs incurred due to waste. TQM initiatives focus on improving individual operations within unrelated business processes, whereas six sigma program focus on improving all the operations within a single business process. Six Sigma projects require the skills of professionals that are certified as black belts, whereas TQM initiatives are usually a part-time activity that can be managed by non-dedicated managers.
