What is Lean Six Sigma Certification in Supply Chain Management?
It may seem unrealistic to expect that any company can both manufacture a product with Six Sigma efficiency (99.9997%), and then also distribute it as quickly as possible with Six Sigma efficiency. It is definitely possible as countless successful companies have proven with well-run Supply Chains managed by Supply Chain Professionals. In today’s global market, it is not enough to offer a quality product; in fact, that product needs to quickly and efficiently reach the consumer with as little error as possible to achieve maximum customer satisfaction and profit. This is accomplished by implementing the Six Sigma Methodology along with Supply Chain Management. Implementing the Six Sigma process during every step of the supply chain and perfecting the processes along the way that follow a product from point of origin to point of consumption can: eliminate waste, decrease lead time, increase flow, decrease the cost of inventory and decrease variation in shipping. This will result in a near perfect Supply Chain for your business.
Both assessing performance and analyzing data to guarantee that near perfect flow has both been achieved AND is being maintained within the supply chain is so important. Once a process has been perfected with Six Sigma Methods, there are safeguards as well as checks and balances put into place to ensure that this efficiency continues through the life of the supply chain as well as the company. Defects mean cost, and the more defects found within the entire supply chain, the more they will affect a company’s overall profits.Six Sigma training and certificationeducates employees working together as a successful team to not only identify the causes of defects and delay in the Supply Chain but also how to devise effective and statistically driven techniques to eliminate them. If your company needs to increase efficiency, sending Supply Chain Professionals to Six Sigma courses for proper training can really help the bottom line – it should be considered a small investment for a large return when it comes to profitability.

Six Sigma is a methodology that utilizes statistical tools and concepts to identify variations or defects in a process. An Accredited Six Sigma Certification in Supply Chain Management indicates an individual has achieved a particular level of knowledge in the study and application of this methodology. This type of certification will make you a more valuable asset in any industry and enhance your career greatly.
Although the roots of the Six Sigma Process are in the Manufacturing sector of business, once a product is manufactured, it must also reach its final destination for a company to be profitable. Something never comes from nothing, therefore raw materials need to be acquired, often in mass, for product to be manufactured and sold. A Supply Chain is the sequence of processes involved in the production and distribution of a product (or service). Because this is such a complex task, Supply Chain Management was born.
Supply Chain Management (SCM) is the broad range of coordinated activities required to plan, control, and execute a product’s flow from acquiring raw materials all the way through a company to its distribution to a final customer. This process should be as streamlined as possible and cost as little as possible for maximum profit. SCM and Six Sigma naturally work together to perfect the supply chain in a corporation. The main goals of the Six Sigma process are to find, diagnose, and fix errors or defects, wherever they may exist in the supply chain. Six Sigma experts look at each phase to determine where the defects are coming from and how they could be reversed from their root cause, leading to a sustainable 6 sigma level of perfection, or only 3.4 defects per million opportunities. This increases customer satisfaction and bottom-line profit; both necessary measures of success for any company.
Our Six Sigma in Supply Chain Management programs are the same exceptional courses you will find in our standard Six Sigma programs while featuring customized videos that have been specially developed for the Supply Chain Management industry.
Top 5 reasons why people REALLY choose a Lean Six Sigma Certification in Supply Chain Management
Cut Costs by Eliminating Errors
Six Sigma focuses on identifying and eliminating any unnecessary waste in a supply chain when specialized training is chosen. This is one aspect of the Six Sigma methodology that creates great demand for Six Sigma Certified Professionals. A chief logistical concern for businesses, especially in today’s global market, is how to streamline inventory and decrease lead time. This happens in the supply chain and the Six Sigma process helps your SCM professionals devise effective ways of achieving both perfect quality and maximized speed simultaneously.
Improve Quality
The process of eliminating errors in products naturally leads to improved quality. Perceived quality is diminished when products do not reach their customers as quickly as possible. A specialized Six Sigma Certification in Supply Chain Management will give your employees the tools necessary to help improve every process from point of origin to point of consumption. This is a skill set that all of the leading companies of the world know to invest in when it comes time to hire their Supply Chain Managers.
Increase Customer Loyalty
When customers receive quality products as quickly as possible, they start to take notice and become loyal to the brand. When the Six Sigma Process is used to both manufacture AND distribute near perfect products, customers believe they will always be able to count on that company’s supply chain for quality and speed. A specialty Six Sigma Certification in Supply Chain Management will give your employees the practical tools they need to ensure customer loyalty in this way.
Increase Employability and Salary Potential
Companies who utilize Six Sigma methods know the importance of quality, and the quality of their employees is at the top of the list. Six Sigma Certified Employees with a special concentration in Supply Chain Management are a resource that companies are willing to invest in. This is why salaries of Six Sigma Certified individuals are, on average, significantly more than their non-certified colleagues. When the leading companies of the world look to hire Supply Chain Managers, they know that individuals who hold specialized Six Sigma Certifications are invaluable resources.
Improved Corporate Culture
Six Sigma improves the overall corporate culture within any company. Because of the hierarchy of Six Sigma Certified individuals, everyone knows their role and expectations within the company – as well as exactly how teams need to work together to bring about positive changes. As these teams reach both short term and long term goals, they form bonds that strengthen the overall company as a whole. Furthermore, as they start to see the results of their hard work, (decreased defects, increased profits, and more loyal customers) the drive to continue to reach goals is fostered and rewarded. Six Sigma Certified individuals can seamlessly join Six Sigma Teams already working on projects, especially when their certification is rooted in Supply Chain Management.

Why Over 6 Million People Have Come to See What We Offer
As one of the most established and longest running providers in the industry for online Six Sigma Training & Certification, we have had millions of people just like you weighing our training against the competition. Here are just a few reasons why many prospective training candidates who have performed their due-diligence have chosen to trust us with their educational needs.

Unlike many Six Sigma Certification providers, we never put an expiration date on your certification.
Many providers require renewals not so much to benefit their certified students, but instead to increase their own revenues.
This can be extremely lucrative for them as they force you to pay extra exorbitant costs over the course of your entire career. Even worse, these costs are often hidden the details of the expiration in fine print. It is not uncommon for a student to be shocked with this information only AFTER they have earned their achievement and see their final certificate.
Think about it… does a college degree come with an expiration date? Neither should your Six Sigma Certification.
Rest assured that our training is well recognized in the business community and we take the needs of employers very seriously. Many other training providers certify their students without a serious attempt of teaching thorough and lasting fundamentals of Six Sigma business methodologies. Our programs were designed to offer the most flexibility while still retaining a rigorous course-load. Every Six Sigma course offered by the Aveta Business Institute is self-paced.
Our programs have been used throughout the world by some of the largest companies… our certifications are very well respected. Below is a short list of Six Sigma business clients that have benefited from having their employees enrolled into our online program:
- Apple
- Microsoft
- Amazon
- Coca-Cola
- Samsung
- Disney
- State/Federal Government Agencies
Your life can become unexpectedly busy and stressful… we aren’t looking to make things even worse by imposing unrealistic deadlines.
Since our courses are designed for individuals whose schedule demands a self-paced approach, you decide when to take your exams. There is no “set” scheduled online class time (or date). Our courses were designed to fit around your busy lifestyle.
Our students have 12 months from the time of payment to complete all of their certification requirements. However, even if you require more than 1 year to complete your program, course extensions can be requested at any time before your deadline from Customer Care (free of charge).
We offer the same quality Six Sigma training you will find at many top universities.
However, many of these leading collegiate training providers have a problem. They offer both classroom-based and online-based programs.
Classroom-based training is much more expensive for these providers since they have to pay for facilities, full-time instructors, travel costs, etc. When asked to justify the higher price, their only real justification is that since an instructor speaks to an entire class, you would have learned significantly more than if you would have read the same material yourself (even though U.S. Department of Defense studies have shown that online training proved to be more effective in courses of greater complexity than classroom-based instructor-led training).
Let us not also forget that in a classroom environment, students are rushed through their programs (and often not given a chance to absorb the material) due to strict time constraints. Most importantly, students are not provided a way to easily reference the material later (it is only natural that students will forget pieces of what they have learned as time goes on).
This reasoning makes learning Six Sigma in an online environment HIGHLY preferable to classroom-based training.
In a perfect world, this shouldn’t matter since many respected colleges and universities also offer online courses. Often, these colleges and universities keep their online prices inflated to help subsidize their classroom-based programs. This is why you will see our same program sold for double or triple the price elsewhere.
We would much rather keep our prices honest and pass the savings directly to you.
