Six Sigma at Cinteger
“You can’t manage what you don’t measure”
Why Six Sigma?
Six Sigma identifies key business processes that would benefit most from improvement and provides a standardized approach to decreasing process variability. Cost savings are directly traceable to the bottom line.
Why Lean?
Lean quickly identifies “value added” vs. “non-value added” activities by identifying waste.
Waste includes: defects, overproduction, waiting, non-value added processing, inventory motion, transportation, employees as a resource.
What Does Six Sigma Provide?

What are the 2 Six Sigma Methodologies?
- DMAIC: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control – used for existing processes that require improvement
