Origins of Sixrigins of SixSigmaigmaThe concept of Six Sigma originated in the 1980's asMotorola, in response to the threat of it's Japanesecounterpart, got excited about the concept of zerodefects. Further, the concept bloomed to Allied Signaland General Electric (GE), and as a result it became

news in 1996 that GE had saved over $1 Billion ofcost by using the Six Sigma methodology. Inacademics it is still in infancy. It is dependent on themanagement gurus for implementation.

Target and TechniquesTarget and Techniques

of Six Sigmaof Six SigmaSix Sigma raises customer satisfaction by reducing

the number of defectives from a process to 3.4

defectives per million. The progress towardsthe target is measured by the sigma rating. Inacademics, it standardises the enhancement of the

result by percent increase.

The Six Sigma quality concept penetrates --

applying to all processes within a company --whether 'defective' means an out-of-spec timecoming off a production line, the amount of 're-work' in a batch of a product, a document with a

misprint, or a late delivery time. Theimplementation in the educational arena requiresthe teachers to be considered 'employees', or theworkforce in general. The customers tend to be

the parents who pay the fees and want quality inreturn of the good result of their wards.

Application of Six SigmaApplication of Six SigmaThe implementation or application of Six Sigma startswith the recognition of a problem, and the defining of

a project to cure or alleviate that problem. The projectis undertaken by a team using DMAIC, which standsfor Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control.

These are defined further as:

DEFINE:

This phase involves the definition of theproject/assignment, using process map, applicationarea, desired improvement, likely benefits, etc. Theimportance lies in having the chance of a highsuccessful delivery of better quality and saving costsin totality. In the context of academic strata, thefailures include identifying and defining the problem.

Projects may include real life problems such asdistractions in the classroom, for example.
