Abstract

Despite scope of implementation in the businesses in Bangladesh, Six Sigma implementation is

mostly avoided by the corporate sector in Bangladesh. In this paper we have tried to introduce
Sig Sigma as a viable option for the corporate sector in their strive for perfection. Based on
secondary data, we have shown the financial benefits big multinationals have gained by
introducing six sigma in their operations.
Conclusion

Successful implementation and growing organizational interest in six sigma method have been
exploding in the last few years. It is rapidly becoming a major driving force for many
technology-driven, project-driven organizations. Factors influencing successful six sigma
projects include management involvement and organizational commitment, project management
and control skills, cultural change, and continuous training. Understanding the key features,
obstacles, and shortcomings of six sigma provides opportunities to practitioners for better
implement six sigma projects. It allows them to better support their organizations’ strategic
direction, and increasing needs for coaching, mentoring, and training.

The statistical aspects of six sigma must complement business perspectives and challenges to the
organization to implement six sigma projects successfully. Various approaches to six sigma have
been applied to increase the overall performance of different business sectors. However,
integrating the data-driven, structured six sigma processes into organizations still has room for
improvement. Cultural changes require time and commitment before they are strongly implanted
into the organization. Effective six sigma principles and practices are more likely to succeed by
refining the organizational culture continuously.
