Six Sigma - What is Six Sigma?

Six Sigma - What is Six Sigma?

6-sigma at many organizations simply means a measure of quality that strives for near perfection. Six Sigma is a disciplined, data-driven approach and methodology for eliminating defects (driving towards six standard deviations between the mean and the nearest specification limit) in any process -- from manufacturing to transactional and from product to service

What is Six Sigma?

Six Sigma is by far the most successful Management Approach that has delivered results. Simply defined, Six Sigma is a powerful management approach that delivers breakthrough improvements in profitability and productivity.
The following points illustrate how six sigma is different from other management approaches. The key differences lie in -
Roadmap - While other philosophies talk about concepts, standards and ideas, Six Sigma provides a Roadmap (A step by step method to achieve desired results)
Top management Commitment - It begins with top management commitment and strictly follows a top down approach.
Laser Focus - The Six Sigma projects are identified with respect to business deliverables (i.e. impact on productivity, profitability and customer satisfaction)
Brings out what is not obvious - The ideal Six Sigma projects are those that do not have obvious solutions and need digging beneath the visible scenario.
Proven Record - The number of Indian and Multinational companies that announced big benefits through Six Sigma approach (after the initiators Motorola and GE announced mind boggling success figures) is impressive by any standards.
