An implementation model for six sigma programs
PICMET '09 - 2009 Portland International Conference on Management of Engineering & Technology, 2009Despite the pervasiveness of Six Sigma programs, there is a rising concern regarding implementation failures. One reason many of these implementations fail is because rigorous research is lacking on how to effectively guide implementation. Using a successful Six Sigma program in a network technology company as a case study, this research develops a six-

A methodology for managing multidisciplinary programs with six sigma approach
2004 IEEE International Engineering Management Conference (IEEE Cat. No.04CH37574), 2005Success in program management hinges on the level of clarity, visibility and predictability of the processes followed in the program. For multidisciplinary programs success depends on how well the issues, risks, and dependencies between the different functional areas are identified and addressed as early as possible.

Program Level Design for Six Sigma
SAE Technical Paper Series, 2005<div class="htmlview paragraph">Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) has been an initiative within product development for over 5 years now. Most companies start out implementing DFSS by using a collection of tools within marketing and engineering. Even though this often yields isolated, or localized improvement in the development of the product, overall ...
