Hi Huma,

Six Sigma means a continuous process that increases the efficiency of each process and reduces the chances of mistakes. I believe Six Sigma results in only 3.7 chances of committing a mistake in 1 million opportunities, thereby increasing profitability.

Hi Huma,

I am attaching a Six Sigma presentation that I received from this group. Please take a look.

Hi,

Six Sigma is a vision of quality that equates to only 3.4 defects per million opportunities for each service transaction or output. It originated at Motorola.

Please go through the PowerPoint presentation attached.

Hi Huma,

The specific answer to your question is:

1) Six Sigma can be linked to performance appraisals. Many companies have made Yellow Belt or Green Belt projects mandatory to qualify for promotions or increments.

2) Six Sigma projects should be linked to Business Objectives/Goals. If you create a policy to cover points 1 and 2, then you have linked Six Sigma to bottom-line results!

Thank you.
