Embarking on a Six Sigma Program means delivering top-quality service and products while virtually eliminating all internal in efficiencies. Once an organization decides to implement a Six Sigma Program, it must impart the challenge to every employee. This includes not only people close to production—where indexes and measurements are relatively easy to implement on physical processes—but also administrative and service providers.

The Six Sigma Program was developed by Motorola in the late 1980s, which used Six Sigma to improve its manufacturing processes. Other companies, including General Electric, Ford, IBM, AlliedSignal, R.R. Donnelley and Sons and 3M, have adapted the program to all facets of business, from accounting to service. In doing so, these companies report savings of hundreds of millions of dollars while increasing customer satisfaction.

A Six Sigma Program involves every employee, supplier, and customer in a simple, well-focused improvement program, resulting in reduced operating cost, rework, and inventory and cycle time. The Six Sigma Program applies several specialized skill sets to streamline operations including process analysis, statistical measurement, and group facilitation.
