Submit Article Quality is the culture of demand and education as an

industry today has mushroomed from over the yearsto a mega segment for profit making and learning to

earn for more. The essence of Quality demands commitment and as

one of our Quality Gurus, Jagdish Gandhi, the

Founder of the Worlds Biggest School, CMS,Lucknow, INDIA and the awardee of the UNESCO

Peace Prize, says the mantra has to be Catch ThemYoung and Innocent.

There is a time now to encapsulate the art and cultof this routine otherwise job of the academicians. Weneed to evaluate our system of educational and ofcourse the education process to produce best of

Quality and Quantity being faced by two customers

the Parents and the Students the ultimate. Talkingof Six Sigma, the phenomenon of Zero Defect tonegligence of the theory of 3.14 per million, sounds

far fetched. It is good to agree and comment of the fact that the

very business of education today is just thata

business. It focuses more today on the bottom lineand it is important to stay on the competitive edge

for all of its customersfrom the students and theirparents to the faculty, staff, and donors, as well. Atthe same time it needs to be considered of the viewthat the act of education also has a greateraccountability today. This means that installing

quality improvement across the board is more

important today than ever before. It is importantfrom both the business and academic sides. A qualityimprovement program can improve all areas of

education. Six Sigma in Education is a Quality Philosophy. Its a

philosophy that talks about attainable short-termgoals while striving for long term objective. Our

mission to have a Total Quality Person (TQP) with avision that Every Child is potentially the Light of theWorld and a Pride of the Human Race.

As of a common layman points of view, in education,Six Sigma pertains to improving the quality of matter

taught, the character generated of the pupils, andthe quality of study and school life. With the

revolutionary usage of audio-visual devices, likeprojectors, video conferencing, etc., the students canalso be asked to write papers on a particular subjectand after the presentation of papers, a discussion

can take place on the respective subject. Under this

method of imparting knowledge of literacy withquality, the thinking, writing and presentation skillsof the students can be kindled. In addition, the

existing method of quality improvement throughSQCC (Students Quality Control Circles) has createdthe value based concept as a simile for the Six

Sigma standards. It infuses a spike of excellence,emotional development, humaneness and self

discipline. The fact lies with the acceptation of thenovice ideas by the school principals and the decisionmakers of how to install and implement the cause ofEducation to make it the need of the hour byimplementing the best media possible to laminate

the success of each and every child, making them

Good and Smart. The mission should be to MakeEvery Child a Gift of God to Mankind and A Pride ofthe Human Race.

The six sigma implementation evolves around thefollowing:

Here lies Six Sigma: The culture of Six Sigmasuggests a work environment and quality of work lifewhere everyone in the company desires to achieve

the Six Sigma target, to increase customersatisfaction, to increase efficiency, to lower costs and

to improve profitability. This culture provides animportant and continuing focus to management. The

Six Sigma quality concept penetrates applying toall processes within a company whether defectivemeans an out-of-spec time coming off a productionline, the amount of re-work in a batch of a product,

a document with a misprint, or a late delivery time.The implementation in the educational arena

requires the teachers to be considered employees,or the workforce in general. The customers tend tobe the parents who pay the fees and want quality inreturn of the good result of their wards. This is thetime when we need a new defined definition of

PARENTS as no more as stake holder but a part of

the organization as we need to be dependent onthem of feedback and change in the work culture atschools to give them more of satisfaction, delight

and out of the most getting them Zapped !. DEFINE: This phase involves the definition of the

project/assignment, using process map, application

area, desired improvement, likely benefits, etc. Theimportance lies in having the chance of a highsuccessful delivery of better quality and saving costs

in totality. In the context of academic strata, thefailures include identifying and defining the problem.

Projects may include real life problems such asdistractions in the classroom, for example.

MEASURE: This phase involves the analysis of the process to

determine its present state and the future, asobtained. Data collection is the main emphasis of

this phase.

ANALYSE: This phase involves the data analysis for

identification of parts of process which affect the

quality of the problem.IMPROVE:

This phase adds to the process to find a permanent

solution to the problem. This may involve betterforecasting, better scheduling, better procedures or

equipment, specifying teaching techniques, workenvironment for the teachers, and school campusquality life.

CONTROL:

This phase involves the process of closing theproblem by putting in the right procedures andmanagement statistics.

This if well treated as an industry is bound to getprofit in bringing out Quality Results of Wonderfuland Campus Envy students with a heavy demand forthem. Taking an issue of HOW TO AVOID

DISTRACTIONS IN THE CLASSROOM? Would sumup as a good though novice idea to start theinception and manipulation of eradication of

problems within a school. Six Sigma works here withthe inception of Six Sigma Capsule of Solving

Techniques. How it would function in educationwould have a defined and rather a redefined system

as: GREEN BELTS: These represent the Six Sigma

practitioners, with a thorough grounding of theapproach. The teachers and instructors of the

students act as these designators.

BLACK BELTS: These represent the Six Sigmaexperts with a thorough grounding in the approach,in addition to the ability to lead the projects (which is

an additional skill over the Green Belts). A subgroupof the teachers and instructors act in this role.

MASTER BLACK BELTS: These represent people who

spend their time focused on Six Sigma, assistleadership for projection and consultation. The

Administration Officer or the Vice-Principal act in thisrole.

CHAMPIONS or LEADERS: They are the seniormanagers who ensure that resources are availablefor training and projects and also conduct reviews.

The Principal acts in this role, in collaboration of the

management or school board.Let us all analyze the fact:

learning and the practicing of making theBrainstorming and Data Collection techniques andparticularly having the GROUP LEARNING

methodology has been the need of the hour. Many ofthe conventions, as of observed and conductedconventions, over the years have been in use for theQuality Circles national and International

Conventions, especially by City Montessori School,India has been the benchmark in making this strataof Inception of Quality In Academics has been of the

way to conduct a condusive learning environment.There deals in making the students a Total Quality

Person and in making the children, the future leadersof tomorrow as the Builders of the Nation in a big

way. It makes the way the life goes on towardslearning the best way possible.There lies of the fact that it is in a big way to dealwith the factual concerns of learning and teaching to

preview the condusive environments in schools and

particularly the class rooms and the staff rooms tomake the sure of the fact in view.

The topics in deal include the ones which relate to

the view of making the best possible informationhandling in action and in view of making the learningthe FUN in exchange of the information to preview

the actions in classes and the motivation towards thelamination in regard to the products out of reach to

the action and the learning in the classes. Thediscipline and the productivity go hand in handparticularly through hand in hand in action. I wouldrequest our fellow colleagues and academicians togenerate blogs on education towards success for all.
