Abstract: PowerPoint presentation slides. The value of Six Sigma for controlling and eliminating process or product variation is explored. Six Sigma offers a clear methodology to control a system, making variation visible and providing a measurement. It is not appropriate for a process that is not clearly measured or is out of control, or when a problem solving system is not used systematically. Before Six Sigma is applied, the process must be mapped and documented, with process measures taken by operators. The process must be controlled and predictable. Problem solving triggers must be in place and problem solving methods must be used consistently. Examples are offered demonstrating how companies benefit from Six Sigma and how it has affected their financial performance.
