Reasons for failure of Six Sigma • Using it as a tool without improving the culture of the organization • Thinking of it as a temporary activity rather than a perpetual method of operating the business • Not understanding the significance and power of data and statistics for analytical insight • Lack of commensurate authority • Ignoring the results of the statistical analysis • Not linking compensation to six sigma performance.

Basis of 6 Sigma The objective of Six Sigma is to achieve "Zero defects." If we can measure the number of "defects" in a process and systematically figure out how to eliminate them, we will get as close to "zero defects" as possible. To achieve Six Sigma, a process must not produce more than 3.4 defects per million opportunities. In other words, all your key processes must be nearly flawless.
