A number of methods and processes are at present implemented by various organizations to increase their productivity at a lesser period of time. Among various such methods, Six Sigma is a methodology that deals with the quality measure for an organization. It is a analysis of six major steps that are there in between manufacturing of a product till transaction of the product or the service. Basically, it is a measurement of quality via data calculation and the main result is to eliminate the defects that are there in the product or the service. This ultimately leads to better productivity and a high amount of profit.

Measurement methodologies used in Six Sigma

The results calculated via Six Sigma are represented in the form of a statistical representation. As per SixSigma a product can be stated free from defect if it matches the customer specification or in technical terms if it is lesser than 3.4 defects on statistical graph. Thus, measuring the defects or the quality on SixSigma method can produce results that are beneficial for the organization. In case the calculation of SixSigma is getting difficult manually, then people can also use 6? calculator for the calculation process.

Six Sigma methodologies are implemented in organizations to measure the improvement of the process and for this SixSigma improvement projects are undertaken. The project has two methodologies namely DMADV and DMAIC. The process of DMAIC is mainly the measurement and improvement of the existing processes in the organization while the process of DMADV is mainly the measurement, analysis and improvement etc for the new products and processes. Both these processes and methods are executed and overseen by SixSigma Black Belts and SixSigma Green belts.

Benefits of implementing Six Sigma methodologies in various companies

Six Sigma has been implemented by a number of big and small companies for mainly two main benefits. The method helps the organization in increasing the quality productivity and also helps in increasing the profit level by decreasing the unnecessary expenditure.

Also such companies can save time by completing four to six projects each year on implementing 6 Sigma. Some of the big companies that are globally known have shown great results on implementing Six?.

General Electric or better known as GE has earns a benefit of about 10 billion dollars in just initial five years of implementing Six? in the process. Prior to GE, also companies like Allied Signal and Motorola have experienced great benefits and results on implementing 6 Sigma during the year of 1995. Due to high benefits gained by implementation of Six?, now there are a number of frameworks that have come up around the world to help many organizations.
