TIGHITCO, a leading aerospace and defense company, is proud to announce that They have reached another milestone in their growth of their operational excellence models with the certification of 15 employees as Six-Sigma Yellow Belts in the past year. This achievement marks a significant step towards the company’s goal of achieving full saturation of Six-Sigma methodology across all departments.
The certification process was conducted in two training waves, with each wave consisting of rigorous training and examinations, followed by project completion to finalize certification. The certified employees were recognized for their dedication and hard work with awards and belts, symbolizing their expertise in the systematic approach to reducing waste, improving processes, and problem-solving.
Six-Sigma methodology is a data-driven approach to process improvement, which has been proven to be highly effective in reducing costs, improving quality, and increasing customer satisfaction. By making this investment and achieving certification, TIGHITCO is taking a significant step towards achieving full saturation of Six-Sigma/Lean manufacturing methodology across all departments, which will further enhance the company’s operational excellence (OPEX) industrialization efforts.
