Six Sigma: The Breakthrough Management Strategy Revolutionizing the World's Top Corporations by Mikel J. Harry, Ph.D. & Richard Schroeder

Revolutionize Your Business Operations

Six Sigma is the most powerful breakthrough management tool ever devised. Heralded by GE, Motorola, and AlliedSignal, it is sweeping corporate America with its unprecedented ability to achieve superior financial results. This strategy promises increased market share, cost reductions, and dramatic improvements in bottom-line profitability for companies of any size. It has become the darling of Wall Street and the mantra of Fortune 500 boardrooms because it works.

What is Six Sigma?

Six Sigma is a business process that enables companies to increase profits dramatically by streamlining operations, improving quality, and eliminating defects or mistakes in everything a company does—from filling out purchase orders to manufacturing airplane engines. Unlike traditional quality programs that focus solely on detecting and correcting defects, Six Sigma provides specific methods to re-create processes so that defects are never produced in the first place.

Key Insights from the Book

• Most companies operate at a three to four sigma level, where defects cost roughly 20–30% of revenues.
• By achieving fewer than one defect per 3.4 million opportunities, the cost of quality can drop to less than 1% of sales.
• When GE reduced its costs from 20% to less than 10%, it saved a billion dollars in just two years—money that goes directly to the bottom line.
• This is why corporations from Sony to DuPont have adopted corporate-wide Six Sigma programs.
