Another featured article of iSixSigma caught my attention. It says, Raytheon helps carve new employment paths for people with disabilities through Six Sigma.
Six Sigma can actually be used to improve processes and find room for employing persons with disabilities. This is such great news!
How does Raytheon Six SigmaTM do it?
A team of Raytheon Six Sigma(TM) experts used the Raytheon Six Sigma process to validate and prioritize issues, determine root causes of barriers and identify and document optimal system changes and implementation actions required to truly remove barriers for people with disabilities to be competitively employed.
Raytheon’s unique application of Raytheon Six Sigma uses a knowledge-based process to transform culture, maximize customer value and create business growth. Unlike “traditional” Six Sigma applications, Raytheon’s six step process integrates stakeholder analysis, facilitation, high-performance teaming, data-driven tool sets and committed sponsorship to solve problems and foster innovation across many functional business areas. As a direct result of this retreat, the Raytheon Six Sigma experts identified a variety of solutions that can greatly improve the system for employment and support services for people with disabilities.
