Hello Mousumi,

Nice to hear from you and nice tho hear that my name revokes pleasant memories.

I presume that you mean personal certification when you talk of six sigma certification.

There are two common levels of certification available in India- green belt and black belt. There is a basic yellow belt level for which I have not heard of any training programme in India and the highest level Master black belt is not achieved by means of certification alone.

The green belt training from reputed sources is typically of 4-5 days duration and costs about 20K and the typical black belt training is about 30 days duration split into 4 schedules of a week each, spread over 4 months. Watered down versions are readily available . The black belt programme from a reputed agency can cost to between 75K to 100K. You have to have a very good aptitude for statistics if you want to try this. Also look into career enhancement opportunities in your industry which can come from certification before proceeding.

Hope this info helps.

Biju

Hi Ambika,
Can you elaborate on what u mean by "technical documentation"? Basic requirements of ISO 9001 viz. Quality manual and procedures need not have any technical documents. U can mail me at [Login to view]. I may not be able to respond this week as I would be travelling.

Hi!
I am sorry! I do not understand the question well! Do you mean how to address HR in ISO 9001 manual or do you mean what all to cover in a "pure HR manual"? In case of the latter you will find lot of examples in the downloads section of this site.

Biju
