Business Management Methods – The Six Sigma Method
The Six Sigma method of business and project management was developed by Motorola in 1981. It is a widely recognised system designed to improve product quality and efficiency, and is used in a range of businesses sectors.
Six Sigma projects follow one of two methodologies:
* DMAIC: Define, measure, analyze, improve, control
* DMADV: Define, measure, analyze, design, verify
As a method of managing both projects and businesses, Six Sigma has many benefits. Typically, businesses and individuals employing the Six Sigma strategy improve the quality of their products and services, develop and improve staff skills, reduce the time it takes to complete processes and enjoy the benefits of a common language used throughout the company to define and discuss projects and products.
Supporting Six Sigma Methodologies
Various software systems have been developed in an attempt to easily manage projects via a central hub as Six Sigma has grown in popularity. Due Six Sigma’s complexity, a lot of these software packages have failed to fulfil early expectations. Atlantic Global introduced their OnDemand Six Sigma software, a software suite made up of tools designed specifically to aid the management of every aspect of your business or project, marks an end to those software woes.
OnDemand could potentially become the foundation of all your Six Sigma projects, helping to improve your efficiency in areas such as:
* time management;
* resource allocation;
* sales force management;
* accounting;
* staff management;
* planning;
* customer service;
As a software package, it has the potential to transform the Six Sigma management method into a company-wide philosophy.
