Six Sigma
History
Motorola developed Six Sigma in response to a
challenge from their management to reduce product
failures.
At it's core it is a set of practices that improves
processes through defect reduction.
Although, Motorola is credited with the creation
of the practices, many believe they evolved from
earlier methodologies like, Quality Control
and Zero Defects.
Key Concepts
The goal is to improve customer satisfaction and
profitability through the reduction of defects.
Everything is a process
All processes have an inherent variable
The data is used to interpret the variability
which is used to drive process improvement
The framework for this improvement are Define
- Measure - Analyze - Improve
- Control.
Much in the same way that SCM helps in supporting
CMM and CMMI, SCM best practices a provide strong
foundation in supporting continuous process improvements.
In addition, 6 Sigma will help in identifying weak
and problem areas in you SCM processes.
