Abstract: In the past 10 years, Six Sigma has been arguably the quality movement’s most widely deployed and written-about method, but questions regarding its effectiveness remain. Quality professionals have benefited from the method’s success, but run the risk of losing that advantage to practitioners of other disciplines that already have the ear of business executives. The author takes a look at what Six Sigma has accomplished and whether it is on the way out.
