Six Sigma was developed at Motorola in the early 80’s.  The beginning was really at a management meeting when an executive stood up and proclaimed that “The real problem at Motorola is that our quality stinks!”.  At that time Motorola was spending 5-10% of annual revenues on correcting poor quality, which translated into $800- $900 million dollars each year.

Mikel Harry and Richard Schroeder were both working for Motorola at the time and they have been credited as the founders of the Six Sigma Methodology. Within four years Six Sigma had saved Motorola $2.2 billion.

Like any management strategy, Six Sigma requires hard work and commitment to ensure that it is successful.  The application of its methodology must be employed and trusted to propel improvement.

Six Sigma might be considered a recipe for successful business management however, even the best recipe in the world is subject to many factors that determine the outcome.  Proper planning and buy-in is essential to any Six Sigma Deployment.
