Dear Mr. Rahul Thank you soooo much for this useful information. I had an interview today with one company and the QC manger had a knowledge in Six sigma. He said that Six Sigma can be applicable to the construction industry, but it costs a lot of money to train people, it can be chosen to be a process improvement tool only at the time the company is established. also he added that Six Sigma is not as famous as ISO 9001, therefore people prefer to choose something that is well-known and the government support rather than implementing a system where not many people is aware of. Would you agree on the above? Do you think that Six Sigma can be a successful tool to implement in the construction industry? you help is highly appreciated Anwar

I have been interviewing people from the construction industry for my thesis to see whether six sigma can be implemented in construction industry or not. All the companies I interviewed are using ISO 9001:2008. When I explain six sigma and how it works, they always say that it is similar to ISO 9001:2008, the question here what the difference is and if they are similar, why it is not used in the construction industry. your answers are highly appreciated
