Can six sigma implemented in project based industries.

 

Yes Umashakar

Several companies in EPC sector (Engineering, Projects and Construction) like L & T, and NTPC have had their Six Sigma successes.

Have a look at http://forum.benchma...ch__1#entry2666

Similarly Software Development Companies which work mainly with projects have been putting Six Sigma to use.

Yes.

how we can differentiate TQM AND SIX SIGMA

Hi Rohit,

To keep it simple, the key differences are as follows.

• TQM did not have a structured methodology while Six Sigma has road maps like DMAIC and DMADV.
  
• Six Sigma has an entire management system designed to support it. This includes the infrastructure of training - Master Black Belts at senior most level providing training and guidance to Black Belts who mentor Green Belts.
  
• TQM was a loosely held set of techniques with little top management support as business benefits from TQM assignements were not considered mandatory. Six Sigma projects need to have a clear business case and a charter to justify the effort and cost for each project.
  
• TQM was focused at mainly at Design, Operations and Quality, while Six Sigma projects are taken up by professionals from all functions including sales, finance, systems and HR.
