Overview: A true Six Sigma organization produces not only excellent product but also maintains highly efficient production and administrative systems that work effectively with the company's other service processes. However, not every organization takes this holistic approach. Production processes still may run at low yields with high scrap ratios and defects. Once an organization decides to implement a Six Sigma program, it must impart the challenge to every employee. This includes not only people close to production -- where indexes and measurements are relatively easy to implement on physical processes -- but also administrative and service providers. Given the substantial investment -- and the potentially substantial rewards -- a Six Sigma program warrants a long-term vision and commensurate attention and resources. Developing a cohesive and comprehensive strategy for implementing Six Sigma only increases the likelihood of a company achieving this worthwhile goal.
