Six Sigma

Why Six Sigma:

Let us analyse one or more challenges that your business may be facing:
  1. You have established process framework having one or the other process models or standards. You do not know how to take the quality journey forward.
  2. You are not able to see any value of the business processes which have been implemented.
  3. You think that there is some improvement needed in your business processes.
  4. You are still confused about whether is it possible to see any measurable results over how the business processes are performing.
  5. You do not know how you can manage the business risks by improving the business processes.
  6. You are not having any road map to tell you what to do when there happens to be significant deviation from the business objectives.
  7. You are not sure whether do you want to go for any kind of process implementation.

For one or more of these concerns which matter, there is one solution and that is to implement “Six Sigma”.

Improve:

Now that you know what business processes are impacting the business results, you want to improve those selected business processes. In Improve phase, you are trying to propose and pilot the proposed solution to establish improved performance capability.

Control:


In Control phase, you want to implement the tested solution and see that there is actual improvement in the business results as measured wrt to the business goals. If the business processes still observe there is deviation from the expected results, you want to create a control plan which can be initiated in such scenarios.
