What are the main considerations for a Six Sigma project ?
The main considerations for Six Sigma can be categorized as follows: • Is Six Sigma right for our Business at this time? • What is the cost of Six Sigma? • How long does it take to Implement? Is Six Sigma right for my business depends on the following: • Is Change (whether broad or targeted) a critical business need now, based on bottom line, cultural, or competitive needs? • Will Six Sigma get and hold the commitment of the business leadership? • Will our existing improvement systems and methods be capable of achieving the degree of change needed to keep us successful and competitive? If your answers are Yes, Yes, No you may well be ready to explore further how to adopt Six Sigma in your organization. What will it cost? The cost is dependant on whether the Six Sigma project is targeted or a company wide project with employee indoctrination etc. How much will Six Sigma cost/how long will Six Sigma take to implement & what is the return? Unfortunately there’s no answer to that question
