define Six Sigma as a data-driven

Definition

Dinsmore and Cabanis-Brewin (2006) define Six Sigma as a data-driven, project-based, team-driven, and customer focused methodology for achieving breakthrough levels of performance in strategically essential processes. Six Sigma is necessarily a quality initiative, in the vein of total quality management (TQM), lean manufacturing, business process reengineering (BPR), statistical process control (SPC), and continuous improvement (CI).

Summary

There are several expenditures such as time, resources and money both material and human which go to waste every year as a result of inefficient or non – existent management of the quality procedures. This article took a bold step towards the study of the steps that are required to achieve the bold aims and objectives which are in various organizations. The outcome of the stigma is improved productivity, beam construction and an interaction that is enhanced among the teams that are undertaking the project and a significant reduction in the delays that the projects face. In a summary way, the six sigma approach which the PIP provided improved the strategy that is used for the various projects while at the same time reduced the waste of resources. It also contributed significantly to the removal of the activities that are adding no value to the project activities and the process of construction.

Discussion

Much can be improved in the construction industry, and the importance of such improvements cannot be understated by all means. Despite the primary business that a nation undertakes, the organizations require an additional interaction in the construction industry (Stewart, 2006). The development in this aspect can only be achieved by learning how to appropriately increase the efficiency of the process of construction through a proper improvement of the process (Galli, 2018). The primary aim of project improvement in the construction sector is to produce something that is of worth it or equal in value but of a significantly lower cost.

Six – stigma is one of the newest ways of managing the processes in businesses (Garland, 2011;2010;). This is one of the formal methods that are relevant for measuring, analyzing and defining the controlling means. These six – stigmas have various definitions and different applications. In this case, the six- sigma methods are mainly about being completely free of the defects (Kwak, 2006). The level that is appropriate for a particular situation is solely dependent on the strategic importance of that specific level (Tchidi, 2012). There are several applications of six – stigma philosophy and the relevance is determined by the nature of the project that is undertaken.

In the view of Galli, the development in this aspect can only be achieved by learning how to appropriately increase the efficiency of the process of construction through a proper improvement of the process

Kwak states in his work a very clear principle that needs to be understood properly by everyone. He says that, these six – stigmas have various definitions and different applications. In this case, the six- sigma methods are mainly about being completely free of the defects

This article points to the significance of the six – stigmas. The level that is appropriate for a particular situation is solely dependent on the strategic importance of that specific level.
