Interelation between SIX SIGMA and manufacturing industry

Six Sigma is a method of improvement that focuses on reducing defects and variability. It was first introduced by Motorola in 1988, and the ideas have since been adopted by companies like General Electric and Boeing.

Six Sigma is a process of continuous improvement that uses statistical methods to identify ways to improve quality. It involves identifying a customer’s needs, identifying ways to meet those needs using available resources, measuring their success, and then continuously improving until you reach your customer’s expectations.

It’s important to note that not all Six Sigma projects are about cutting costs; they can also be used as an opportunity for growth or innovation. For example, one project might be to improve the effectiveness of customer service representatives (CSRs), while another might be focused on improving the effectiveness of manufacturing processes.

Six Sigma is often used in conjunction with other methods such as Lean Manufacturing (which focuses on creating value by eliminating waste) or Total Quality Management (which focuses on creating products with high quality at low cost).
