Since January 2010, Rhein S.Q.M. can rely on own Six Sigma Black Belt competences, enabling the company to offer this service for enterprises of any size and type in response to increasing demands world-wide. Six Sigma is an incremental process using the DMAIC cycle (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control) for improvement projects, which has proved significantly more effective than the traditional CIP (Continuous Improvement of Processes) model. Improvements realised by way of DMAIC are sustainable and can be measured in terms of quality (statistics) and increased gross profit (€). Here are some of the Six Sigma projects we can offer:

  • Waste reduction
  • Process capability optimisation
  • Increased output
  • Product improvements
  • Cost reduction for verification/measuring processes
  • Product lifecycle improvement

Until the end of February 2010, Rhein S.Q.M. is offering Six Sigma Black Belt project services at significantly lower costs than our competitors. A supervision of your company’s efforts during the Green Belt phases is available and highly recommended in order to achieve best results!

We are looking forward to any enquiries regarding Rhein S.Q.M. Six Sigma Black Belt projects.

At the same time, the percentage of older people beyond the age of 50 with severe physical disabilities will also increase. These are the target groups, from which the integrational enterprise ad laborem will be recruiting their personnel. “For us, it was therefore a logical step to bring together these two groups in order to have them benefit from each other”, explains ad laborem Managing Director Klaus Litwinschuh. “This is how the mentoring programme ‘Young and Old – Hand in Hand towards Success’ was born, which is currently in the implementation stage in our company”.
