PowerSteering Software released this white paper. The paper gives emphasis on the value of being able to manage Six Sigma deployment and achieve the ROI the company envisions.
Regardless of the size of the organization, when a Six Sigma program reaches a certain maturity it runs the risk of losing momentum. Once the low hanging fruit has been plucked and the obvious high?reward endeavors tackled, subsequent projects typically generate less financial benefit. At the same time, administrative burden increases as the number of Belts and projects grows and the use of Six Sigma expands throughout the organization. Belts require more time to uncover and scope projects, while aggregating and validating program data becomes more of a chore. If not addressed, this pattern can sap program ROI, Belt morale, and ultimately leadership support for Six Sigma.
