The Six Sigma methodology, developed in 1986 by Motorola, is a company-wide technique to achieve breakthroughs in productivity gains, PPM reduction, and in-cycle time reduction. Motorola's creation of the original formula led them to unprecedented growth, profitability, and recognition with the Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award in 1999.

Six Sigma provides businesses with the tools to improve the sigma capability of their processes - leading to defect reduction and vast improvement in profits. Companies with an effective infrastructure that remains consistent with the classic Six Sigma system realize dramatic income improvements - often shortly after implementation.

Benefits of Six Sigma

By implementing Six Sigma wisely on carefully selected projects, companies will benefit from:

• Improved customer satisfaction
• Reduced cycle times
• Increased productivity
• Improved process flow, capacity and output
• Reduction in total defects
• Increased product reliability
• Decreased work-in-process (WIP)
