Similarly to Lean, the Six Sigma methodology also looks to reduce waste. However, Six Sigma defines waste as anything that doesn’t meet the customer’s expectations and focuses more on eliminating any inconsistencies in the customer experience. While first designed for use in manufacturing, Six...
Six Sigma is a systematic approach for improving a process developed at Motorola, USA by Bill Smith in the late 1980’s, which focuses on using statistical tools to isolate and reduce failures. The main idea in this methodology is to decrease the error or defect rates to as close to zero...
A well planned Six Sigma deployment can lead to a rewarding experience and immense benefits for an organization. On the flip side, however, a flawed deployment may lead to disappointing results – the failure of the entire deployment effort, and/or a significant waste of time and resources. Th...
