Six Sigma represents the peak of quality, the virtual elimination of
defects. As sigma rises, customer satisfaction increases, cycle times
decrease and costs drop.
Six Sigma is the disciplined application of statistical problem solving. Six sigma methods integrate principles of business, statistics
and engineering to achieve tangible improvements in business processes.
Six Sigma shows where wasteful costs exist in the supply chain and points towards
the steps to take in order to achieve measurable improvement. These tools apply a refined methodology of
measurement and discovery to gain a comprehensive understanding of
performance and key variables affecting the quality of a company’s
processes, products
and services.
Six sigma follows the DMAIC approach; Define, Measure,
Analyze, Improve and Control.
Six sigma can be applied to every discipline including: Production,
Sales, Marketing, Design, Administration and Customer Service.
