Six Sigma Methodology vs organisational Managment Certification Programs (ISO 9001, SEI CMM, COPC, TS 16949, HACCP etc.)

• While certification aims at building internal and customer confidence, Six Sigma methodology aims at building business success.
• While certification is driven by image or due to expectations created by customers and market, Six Sigma is driven by results.
• While most certification programs provide requirements and verify compliance levels, Six Sigma methodology provides requirements as well as roadmap.
• Management Certification approaches help in reaching Sigma Levels of 3 and 4, while Sigma levels upto and beyond 6 are feasible using high rigour Six Sigma tools.
• While certificates aim at defining levels of competence achieved, Six Sigma aims at breakthrough improvements from a current level to a targeted level of performance with business sense.
• While certification aims at defining and developing processes that provide acceptable results, Six Sigma aims at identifying and delivering improvements which are sustainable.

Organisational management certification programs and Six Sigma do not have a clear dependence. A Six Sigma initiative can be started irrespective of certifications achieved.
