It might be difficult to believe, but many organizations continue to live with defects, mistakes and wastages on a daily basis. Its just that these mistakes, wastages and losses often go unnoticed. The cost of such losses can be twice as high as an organization's salary bill! Six sigma management system enables everyone in the organization to recognize such losses and make their processes more effective and efficient. In fact companies resorting to "layoffs" as a measure of cost-reduction would achieve much higher savings if they were to adopt the tools and techniques of six sigma and lean six sigma.

Starting with Motorola in 1986, many organizations have moved to the six sigma and lean six sigma management system to improve their profitability by reducing the defect levels in their processes and eliminating the seven deadly wastes. It has been observed that over 50% of Fortune-500 companies use lean six sigma.....and the percentage of Fortune-100 companies relying on lean six sigma for profit-improvement is a whopping 82%!.

Six Sigma provides a common language and toolset that ensures the development and maintenance of the organization's design, control, and improvement processes. With six sigma and lean six sigma  in place, organizations can enjoy increased revenue through improved customer satisfaction, waste elimination,  reduced costs of poor quality and decreased cycle times resulting in maximization of value for the shareholders.
