The implementation of the six sigma in pharmaceuticals is done in different ways. First, the companies require new employees to have six sigma certifications. The certificate is proof that the employees have taken the six sigma course that arms them with the requisite knowledge on how to run an efficient production process. Certified employees are more productive at work not only because they reduce wastage but also, work in an efficient manner.
Secondly, pharmaceutical companies have been offering six sigma course within their organizations. This has enabled most of the older employees in these companies to attain the six sigma certifications and therefore improve their performance at work.
Last but not least, the companies have been sending their employees to institutions where they can be trained on the six sigma methodology. Most six sigma courses are offered in four levels: yellow belts, green belts, black belts and champion. The employees with yellow belt certifications are beginners and hence cannot be able to handle independent projects.
Six Sigma techniques have helped pharmaceutical companies to not only debug errors in their manufacturing processes but also, improve the quality of their output. In so doing, they have been able to drive up profit.
