Is Six Sigma Training worth paying for?

I am also an aspirant of entering into six sigma field but Lean Six Sigma. Already having work exposure of quality management and ISO 9001 related stuff. Its a really good approach which has also become requirement of modern day industrialization. It will definitely provide you a great platform to launch your professional career ahead. Dont know much about small scale industrial set up but on large scale yeah customer satisfaction is what drives the organisation and ever changing trends also. Hence customer satisfaction also vary. In order to stand tall, organasition has to cope up with it. Thats where six sigma, quality management holds good. My view go for it. Its budding profile.

I don’t think so unless the job specifically requires it. I haven’t taken the Six Sigma course but it seems to be the latest manifestation of what I consider to be the "quality" training fraud. I have been through Deming, Crosby, and ISO 9000 training. The company paid for the training and I found it to be a complete waste of time. Any good manager should already know what they’re teaching, it’s basic common sense. My experience is that it’s two purposes are to allow the company to promote the fact that their personnel are trained to produce quality at low cost and to show the stockholders that they are working hard to increase customer satisfaction and increase profitability. In my experience it accomplished nothing. It was business as usual the day the course ended. Don’t spend to much time testing. It will cost too much money and delay the introduction of the product. Push it out the door as fast and as cheaply as possible and we’ll worry about the returns and warranty costs when they happen.

Edit: I’ll add two more objectives. It’s an act of desperation on the part of incompetent managers to save a failing company and to blame their subordinates for the failure.
