Overview

Imagine you are a business owner looking to maximise your profits. You need to keep your costs low while ensuring that the quality of your products or services remains high. How can you do this? The answer lies in procurement and Six Sigma.

Procurement is the process of obtaining goods or services from suppliers, and Six Sigma is a data-driven approach to quality management that aims to eliminate defects and reduce variability in processes. By combining these two concepts, businesses can streamline their procurement processes, reduce costs, and improve quality. In fact, studies have shown that organisations that implement Six Sigma in procurement can save up to 30% of their total procurement costs!

Study method describes the format in which the course will be delivered. At Reed Courses, courses are delivered in a number of ways, including online courses, where the course content can be accessed online remotely, and classroom courses, where courses are delivered in person at a classroom venue.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
