Tutorial 6 Sigma

6 sigma is a production strategy that aims to minimize defects by reducing variability in processes. It uses statistical methods and teams of experts to identify and remove causes of defects in manufacturing and business processes. Each six sigma project has quantified goals like reducing costs, pollution, and cycle times while increasing customer satisfaction and profits.

6 sigma is the latest production strategy , involves producing items with a high level of precision minimizing deviation .

Six Sigma is a set of techniques and tools for process improvement. It was developed by Motorola in 1986,[1][2] coinciding with the Japanese asset price bubble which is reflected in its terminology.[citation needed] Jack Welch made it central to his business strategy at General Electric in 1995.[3] Today, it is used in many industrial sectors.[4] Six Sigma seeks to improve the quality of process outputs by identifying and removing the causes of defects (errors) and minimizing variability in manufacturing and business processes. It uses a set of quality management methods, including statistical methods, and creates a special infrastructure of people within the organization ("Champions", "Black Belts", "Green Belts", "Yellow Belts", etc.) who are experts in the methods. Each Six Sigma project carried out within an organization follows a defined sequence of steps and has quantified value targets, for example: reduce process cycle time, reduce pollution, reduce costs, increase customer satisfaction, and increase profits. These are also core to principles of Total Quality Management (TQM) as described by Peter Drucker and Tom Peters (particularly in his book "The Pursuit of Excellence" in which he refers to the Motorola six sigma principles).
