Abstract: At the present time most of the organizations are showing keen interest in using Six Sigma approach to improve their operations performance. Motorola coined the concept of Six Sigma and General Electric popularized it. There are two methodologies to implement Six Sigma: define measure, analyze, improve and control; (DMAIC); and define measure, analyze, design and verify; (DMADV). DMAIC should be used when a product or process is in existence at a company but is not as per customer specifications or is not performing adequately. DMADV should be used when a product or process is not in existence and one needs to be developed or when the existing product or process has been optimized and still does not meet the level of customer specification or Six Sigma level. This paper deal with Six Sigma and its implementation for improvement.
