Six Sigma Methodology








As I tried to get  a better understanding of the Six Sigma methodology that was developed by Motorola in the mid-1980's I felt like it was important to share some of that information with my cyber friends.   It explores certain parameters denoted as DMAIC - define; measure; analyze; improve; control.

The suggestion is that we use this methodology when:
  • the causes or the situations are unknown;
  • the problems are common place and not well defined;
  • other problem solving methods have failed; or
  • the situation is complex and have may variables
adapted from "What is Six Sigma"
