Benefits
Complex processes may be hard to operate such that consistent products or services are delivered. Six Sigma uncovers the key process input variables that must be controlled to deliver the customer’s requirements.
Typical focus areas are Safety, Quality, Cost and Delivery. Breakthrough levels of performance improvement can be achieved with Six Sigma projects. Typical projects achieve 70-90% reduction in defects or customer complaints.
At Process42 we seek to make complex processes understandable and controllable.
