SIX SIGMA

Knowledge management as a process canfacilitate information and knowledge in theorganizations to create and share knowledgeand to utilize, accumulate and reuse such

knowledge. In brief, it can be stated thatknowledge management is a series of processof knowledge transformation and circulation. Theuser is the centre of all the processes from the

initial phase of service planning. The purpose ofthis study is to search for application of sixsigma as a solution for efficient knowledgemanagement.
