Origins of Six SigmaOrigins of Six SigmaThe concept of Six Sigma originated in the 1980's as Motorola, in response to the threat of it's Japanese counterpart, got excited about the concept of zero defects. Further, the concept bloomed to Allied Signal and General Electric (GE), and as a result it became news in 1996 that GE had saved over $1 Billion of cost by using the Six Sigma methodology. In academics it is still in infancy. It is dependent on the management gurus for implementation.

Target and Techniques Target and Techniques of Six Sigmaof Six Sigma
Six Sigma raises customer satisfaction by reducing the number of defectives from a process to 3.4 defectives per million. The progress towards the target is measured by the sigma rating. In academics, it standardises the enhancement of the result by percent increase.

Culture of Six SigmaCulture of Six Sigma
The culture of Six Sigma suggests a work environment and quality of work life where everyone in the company desires to achieve the Six Sigma target, to increase customer satisfaction, to increase efficiency, to lower costs and to improve profitability. This culture provides an important and continuing focus to management.

The Six Sigma quality concept penetrates --applying to all processes within a company --whether 'defective' means an out-of-spec time coming 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. The implementation in the educational arena requires the teachers to be considered 'employees', or the workforce in general. The customers tend to be the parents who pay the fees and want quality in return of the good result of their wards.

Application of Six Sigma Application of Six Sigma The implementation or application of Six Sigma starts with the recognition of a problem, and the defining of a project to cure or alleviate that problem. The project is undertaken by a team using DMAIC, which stands for Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve and Control.
These are defined further as:

DEFINE:
This phase involves the definition of the project/assignment, using process map, application area, desired improvement, likely benefits, etc. The importance lies in having the chance of a high successful delivery of better quality and saving costs in totality. In the context of academic strata, the failures include identifying and defining the problem. Projects may include real life problems such as distractions in the classroom, for example.

MEASURE:
This phase involves the analysis of the process to determine its present state and the future, as obtained. Data collection is the main emphasis of this phase.

ANALYSE:
This phase involves the data analysis for indentification of parts of process which affect the quality of the problem.

IMPROVE:
This phase adds to the process to find a permanent solution to the problem. This may involve better forecasting, better scheduling, better procedures or equipment, specifying teaching techniques, work environment for the teachers, and school campus quality life.

CONTROL:
This phase involves the process of closing the problem by putting in the right procedures and management statistics.

• Your STUDENT wants results and they want them yesterday. You don’t have the luxury of time. Make sure you can get measurable results before you ever start a project. You can do this by using this guide make sure your project selection process is as good as it can be. Nothing can guarantee a project will be successful but poor project selection is the main reason why projects fail.
