Abstract

Six Sigma methodology is nowadays one of the most used approaches in the Quality Management field since its benefits coming from the improvement of the process outputs quality by identifying and removing the causes of defects and variability in manufacturing and business processes. Few studies are done on reviewing the literature of Six Sigma in all the areas including manufacturing, construction, education, financial service, BPOs, healthcare etc. All the literatures are in the way that it would help research academicians and practitioners to take a closer look at the growth, development, and applications of this technique. Globalization, advanced technology, increased sophisticated customer demands change the way of conducting business. Old business models no longer work in new economy. Defects rate of product plays an important role for the improvement of yield and financial conditions of any company. Organizations are increasingly adopting Six Sigma in a bid to improve the quality of their processes and products, and thus achieve competitive advantage. Six Sigma is a smarter way to manage business or department.

Keywords

Construction, Globalization, improvement, Quality management, Six sigma.
