How Does Six Sigma Work?
The fundamental objective of the Six Sigma methodology is the implementation of a measurement-based strategy that focuses on process improvement and variation reduction through the application of Six Sigma improvement projects. This is accomplished through the use of DMAIC. The Six Sigma DMAIC process (define, measure, analyze, improve, control) is an improvement system for existing processes falling below specification and looking for incremental improvement. This Six Sigma process is executed by Six Sigma Green Belts and Six Sigma Black Belts, and are overseen by Six Sigma Master Black Belts.
Typically, companies that have engaged Six Sigma Qualtec for their improvement process are looking to do more than diversify the skills of a few strategic individuals. With this investment, they initiate a company-wide culture shift geared toward breakthrough change and the pursuit of perfection. This approach is geared towards a more comprehensive deployment that will yield breakthrough improvements in your processes and bottomline profitability.
Six Sigma Qualtec has developed a deployment model consisting of five major workstreams as outlined in the figure below. Our objective is to move the company as quickly as possible to self-sufficiency (knowledge transfer) and self-sustainment (measurable financial results).
